Thank you for getting back so rapidly.
Yes, fontconfig is installed (and therefore I assume latest version).
There is a
03/02/2012 09:11 178,702 /bin/cygfontconfig-1.dll
file There is also a /etc/postinstall/fontconfig.sh.done file.
(a) Incidentally I originally installed texlive-collection over an
obsolete tetex, which installation (a) took forever and (b) tailed off
at the end with a fontconfig installation error that I reported at
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-03/msg00226.html.
(b) So I then did what always seems to me to be the strategy of last
resort: re-install brand new Cygwin from the ground up. Evidently
successful - no error messages; presence of fontconfig.sh.done as
stated; and until today's update of texlive-collection-*-20120312-1, no
problems!
(c) Just this minute I tried setup.exe again. Nothing new to install
in the last 8 hours but setup still took 10 (no: nearer 20) minutes
labouring over postinstall scripts (presumably taking a second crack at
those it failed with previously? ... lacking the *.sh.done files?) and
ended with a *similar but different* error announcement
Previously (8 hours ago):
Package: texlive-collection-basic
texlive-collection-basic.sh exit code 146
Package: texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended.sh exit code 146
Package: texlive-collection-fontsextra

Package: texlive-collection-latexextra
texlive-collection-latexextra.sh exit code 146
Package: texlive-collection-science
texlive-collection-science.sh exit code 146
Now:

texlive-collection-basic.sh exit code 146
texlive-collection-fontsextra.sh exit code 146
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended.sh exit code 146
texlive-collection-latexextra.sh exit code 146
