I guess I spoke too soon.  There seems to be something
else going on because I have the same problem when
trying to add new components to an existing
installation.  By deleting the c:\cygwin directory I
was able to do an initial install.  However, if I try
to add anything, I get the same problem, not being
able to select the Next button.  Now I have no idea
what the problem is!
