Rudiyanto,

Try the latest setup snapshot at
<http://cygwin.com/setup-snapshots/setup-2.348.exe>.  It should log the
output of postinstall scripts into /var/log/setup.log.full.  This will let
you know which script is failing and what the exact message is.


I did that and these were the error messages that I got
when installing the default packages:

2003/04/03 16:57:17 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh
/etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh: not found
2003/04/03 16:57:18 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c /etc/postinstall/bzip2.sh
/etc/postinstall/bzip2.sh: not found
2003/04/03 16:57:19 running: C:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe -c /etc/postinstall/libgdbm-devel.sh
/etc/postinstall/libgdbm-devel.sh: not found
<snip>


The rest of the error messages looked the same.
Though these files exists, it seems that the setup
can't find the files. My computer may be an aberration
since I was able to install cygwin on another computer
several days ago.
