I am still unable to install cygwin. As a summary:
( I have windows XP Sp2 up to date.)
1. I download the most recent version of setup.exe (now 2.510.2.2).
2. I execute using default install settings.
3. Setup.exe hangs at 98% "Installing /etc/postinstall/s00ash.sh"
4. I click cancel and receive the message "installation complete".

It seems strange that it is trying to access the tty numbered -1. That
could be the cause of the fault. Do you have CYGWIN=tty?
