Can't open database for writting: No such file dialog box


I tried Three times to install Cygwin on my computer.
I downloaded all the packages from the sight:  except
the databases, which I set to default.  I then click
the setup icon to start the install.  I select Install
from local directory and chose where I want to
install.  Everything goes along just fine until "99%"
done.  Then I get the "You should reboot for cygwin to
take effect.." dialog box.  Next, I get the dialog
box:  "Can't open Package Database for writing:  no
such file or directory".  I then reboot.  BUT I don't
see cygwin in my start menu and I don't see the cygwin
shortcut on my desktop.  What is going on, and how
should I solve this problem?

I am running Win2k: Pentium 4 ,2.4 GHz 1024 MB RAM.

I did not see this problem addressed anywhere on your
sight.

Thanks,

Lou Rosas
