Just run the programs directly from the cygwin directory:

c:\cygwin\bin\cygcheck -r -s -v > blah1

c:\cygwin\bin\ps -ef > blah2

Also, I believe that Gerrit suggested sending the contents of the setup
log files.

strace is for cygwin programs.  setup.exe is not a cygwin program.  It
can't be.  Requiring cygwin1.dll to install cygwin1.dll would never work.

I appreciate that you're trying to think of solutions here but there
have already been a couple of suggestions that no one seems to have
bothered to follow through on.   Why not just humor us and provide the
debugging info that we're asking for?
