Downloaded with setup, or downloaded with a ftp client?

Did you truncate the directory name? There should be 2 hex digits after
every %, yet your directory name ends with "%2" - only one digit.

Try renaming:
ftp%3a%2f%2fftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de%2fpub%2fMirrors%2fsou.com%2
to:
ftp%3a%2f%2fftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de%2fpub%2fMirrors%2fsou.com%2f

Please try a debug version of setup from:
http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/

Note the address in the error box, and choose to debug the application.
I'm not familiar with w2k built in debugging. If it doesn't give enough
info, you might have to install Dr. MinGW
(http://jrfonseca.dyndns.org/projects/gnu-win32/software/drmingw/), to get
more information.
