Cygwin 1.7 setup on Win7 fails with "Unable to extract /etc/ -- the file is in use."


When I try to install the latest Cygwin 1.7.0-64 beta on Windows 7 (x86 RTM Enterprise build 7600), it downloads correctly, but then I get the error "Unable to extract /etc/ -- the file is in use."   Previously, I was using Cygwin 1.5.25-14 on this machine.  That installed perfectly the first time and worked normally.

Before installing the 1.7 beta, I did the following:
- Removed my old sshd service.  (cygrunsrv --remove sshd)
- Renamed the old Cygwin directory to hide it.
- Restarted my machine.
- Verified sshd service does not appear in Services.
- Verified no Cygwin-related processes in task manager or Process Explorer.

At this "In-use files detected" error message box, if I click Retry, it keeps coming up.  If I click Continue, the progress window stays open and the progress bar flashes, but it makes no progress.  In setup.log, the last error before it ends says, "io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 22 Invalid argument".  I'll paste the whole file at the bottom of this message.

After setup failed using the defaults, I tried a few ideas I found searching this list and the web:
- Installed for this user only (as well as Administrator install).
- Ran setup as Administrator (as well as running normally).
- Checked Process Explorer for anything that might be using a Cygwin DLL.  Nothing.
- Installed to different target paths.  I tried c:\c\, c:\p\c\ and c:\Cygwin\.
- Created a few of the directories ahead of time (i.e. c:\c\etc\, c:\c\home\, and so on).
- Closed any other program that can't be closed.

- Downloaded and then installed from Local Directory (as well as installing from Internet).

Questions:
- Is there any other information I can provide that would help somebody find the problem?
- Is there anything else I should have done to completely uninstall 1.5?
- Since it installed easily with 1.5 but it doesn't work at all with 1.7, could this be new problem with the 1.7 installer?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone is willing to provide.

Thanks,
Alex
