Cygwin setup.exe 2.510.2.1 package installation crashing problem


I ran setup.exe (version 2.510.2.1), first selected to 'Download Without Installing' and received the updated packages. I ran setup.exe again and selected 'Install from Local Directory. In Cygwin's Progress window after the parsing of the ini file, Cygwin crashes. Windows XP shows a Dr. Watson window two times where I click Don't Send. The Windows XP SP2 Event Viewer log shows this cause:

  Event Type: Error
  Event Source: Application Error
  Event Category: None
  Event ID: 1000
  Description:
  Faulting application setup.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module
  ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00043345.

I tried the following without success:

* Renamed and then deleted the setup.ini files in the FTP directory.

* Renamed the FTP directory where the packages were downloaded.

I do not know much about troubleshooting Cygwin as it has always updated without any problems.

I read the Cygwin FAQ, searched in the cygwin and cygwin-apps archives seeing similar errors with no solutions or workarounds, and searched the Internet via Google for possible soutions.

Is there any workaround or solutions for this problem?

Thank you.
