Any possibility that someone could take a look at what seems to be a nasty setup.exe problem? There is lots of discussion in cygwin-xfree. It's mainly under the subject xorg installation fails, 99% complete only. I have briefly reviewed that thread, but didn't find much debugging information. At the moment I am short on time, and only have one machine available to me. When I return home from university (Dec 6th), I will have much more time, and a 2nd machine on which to attempt reproduction. Max.

There were a couple of setup.log's posted and a couple cygchecks. If more is needed, then someone has to engage the frustrated users. cgf
