Greetings,

Cygwin 1.7.1 is failing to install on a relatively clean Windows 7 x64
box. I installed this box today, applied the updates and installed a
minimal amount of other software (MS office 2007, WHS client, the
gimp, inkscribe, pidgin, flash, and acrobat reader). I applied all of
the windows updates to bring the box current, then I tried to install
cygwin.

The cygwin installer hangs at /var/lib/alternatives/.keep-alternatives
for alternatives-1.3.30c-10

Same problem here.

Try again with 2.677. It's out now. If you don't get it when you download from cygwin.com, make sure none of your servers are caching an old copy.
