This is a packaging error. Should be "file://usr/X11R6/include/X11/ap_keysym.h".
Which mirror are you using? Which version of XFree86-prog are you trying
to install? Which version of setup.exe?

How do you exit setup? Do you press "Cancel", or kill the process via
Task Manager/Process Explorer? If you press "Cancel", please post a
(bzipped) copy of your /var/log/setup.log.full corresponding to a failed
session.

Please also attach the output of "cygcheck -svr", as per
