Setup.exe hangs forever...

[Gabriel <gabriel at acm dot org>]

I've been having problems with setting up a fresh install of Cygwin. The setup 
hangs forever (more than 12 hours), I click on Cancel and nothing happens but 
after a while I get the following error:

Cannot open log file C:\cygwin/var/log/setup.log

yes, the first one is a backslack (\) and the others are forward slashes (/). 
This problem happens on brand new XP installations with nothing else but XP2 
and all the Windows Update patches, absolutely nothing else. 

I'm wondering if any of you have had any similar problems?

Thanks,

Gabriel
