"Cannot create a file when that file already exists" installation problem

Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade my Cygwin install to the newest version
Using setup.exe from http://www.cygwin.com. No matter what I do,
what I choose to install, where the local packages go to etc,
I get the following error message:
Mount <- that is what is in the title of the message box
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
OK
When I click on OK, the installation process exists, and nothing
is installed.
Note that sometimes the entire process is almost finished (the
total bar is about 99% full).
Googling for "Cannot create a file when that file already exists"
reveals that that is some kind of Windows error (code #183),
but I have no idea which file is being created.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be going on here?
I do not want to blow away my current install.
Thank you very much,
Jonathan Lawlor
