Hi,
Setup tells me "Nothing needed to be installed", but nearly all created
directories are empty.
I realise this has been addressed before but I could find no solution in
either FAQ or mail archive.
So any help much appreciated.
Anyway here is what setup.exe puts in c:\cygwin:

2. Ran setup.exe[Cygwin Net RElease Setup Program Version 2.13]
: Install from local directory
: (UNIX file type/just me/default dir d:\cygwin)
: Local package directory = "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\cygwin"
: install root directory="C:/cygwin"
3. All (I assume) packages seemed to be new -- certainly none current.
Clicked on next.
4. Got create desktop shortcut screenn - cant remember my response
5. Got 'Nothing needed to be installed message'
NOTES:
1. I manually extracted cygcheck to my desktop. Running it
('cygcheck -s -v -r' ) from MS-DOS gave no output only a popup box with the
message "A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not found."
2. no key "Cygnus" etc. generated in the registry
3. Start menu, desktop shortcuts successfully created.
4. selecting "bash" from the program menue shows a dos box which closes
immediately
5. -installed.db shows
-no "error" message or unexpected quit of setup, it just has a whole lot
of lines like
ash latest/ash/ash-20000823.tar.gz 34737
