I tried to reproduce the problem on the WinXP SP2 machine in question 
and I was unsuccessful in reproducing it...

Cygwin installed like a charm =)

Now, I don't  know why such is the case.  

Hmmm...To tell the truth, I was actually asking  someone to follow 
instructions from me, (i.e. press this button, select "Unix", click ok, 
etc.).  However, when I myself tried do a fresh uninstall and fresh 
install, all worked well. 

In any case, I'm now attaching cygcheck.out and setup.log (compressed) 
so the experts could point out what difference it had with my previous 
posting of cygcheck.out and setup.log,

My suspicion is that the one whom I asked to install cygwin did 
something else that she didn't tell me....(What I saw when she was 
installing cygwin was the "99% completed" on xorg that never stopped.  
This, I verified with my  eyes.   On her following my instructions,  I 
didn't see it with my own eyes.  She just said she did.)

Sheesh...sorry for all these noise for the past 3 days. 

Thank you to all you cygwin developers.

Cygwin Rocks!


Best Regards,

Carlo
