Setup freezes installing from local dir

First I ran Cygwin Setup, chose "Download from Internet" and selected
"z:\cygwin" as "Local Package Directory". The download ended without an
error. Then I ran Setup again and chose to "Install from Local
Directory", again "z:\cygwin" as "Local Package Directory", and Setup
froze after initiating the the next step titled "Progress".
Since it's not clear what "Local Package Directory" I should use, I ran
Setup again and this time selected "z:\cygwin\http%3a%2f%2f...", where
"setup.ini" and "release" are located. Still Setup froze the same way.
I got the same problem over half a year ago, and I gave up that time. I
did not have this kind of problem back when Setup did not create
subdirectories like "http%3a%2f%2f...".
What is supposed to be the "Local Package Directory"? The one you
specified when downloading, or its "http%3a%2f%2f..." subdirectory? It's
confusing, and I strongly suggest to make Setup state it clearly while
installing from local dir.
