Ah right, I mis-spoke, it the cygwin.bat that did not get laid down. Install goes to 99% complete and hangs on /etc/postinstall/post-texmf.sh. AHH - cancel, cancel. I just reinstalled admin (for the fourth time) to get the above message and while I was looking into the log to get the "failed" messages I got yesterday - it finished and worked! Geez, windows and more likely the dang security/backup/antivirus/"big brother" software my company makes me run on this machine is what was screwing the install up. Yesterday, I did the same thing, went to lunch, came back 90 minutes later and it still was hung there.... Today it finished within 15 minutes ;-} on a 2.5 Ghz, 512 MB system. Now that I see the cygwin.bat I'm suprised - I thought they were doing some magic dos stuff in there...
