I've seen lots of reports of this problem, but no solutions. It occurs during the install/upgrade of 1.7.

It is detailed more here:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00607.html

But this is not just a Windows 7 issue. I'm trying to install on Server 2003 and getting it. This machine previously had 1.5 but I uninstalled per the Cygwin FAQ on propertly uninstalling, then rebooted before trying 1.7.

Any help would be appreciated.
