after 90% I get the same problem, i.e. I first get a warning message

This is no prblem and no error, just follow the hint displayed.
Yes, thanks, I know it is supposed to be just a warning, but the trouble
is that it is immediately followed by the error/crash described, and
contrary to the warning message rebooting doesn't help.
immediately followed by an error message (see
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/herb.eppel_new/temp/CygwinErr1.jpg),
after which CygwinSetup.exe crashes.
The package database is written to /etc/setup, do you have permisson on
this directory?
I'm running the installation as myself, rather than administator, but I
have the same rights as administrator (I'm the only one using this
machine), and CygwinSetup.exe has already written more then 10 MB into
C:\cygwin\etc when this happens. I can see 474 objects in
C:\cygwin\etc\setup
Any more ideas?
Thank you.
