Setup version 2.573.2.3 hangs when parsing ini file


Hi. I'm new, first post, and getting to know Cygwin for SSH. I'm using a vbscript to install Cygwin on several servers. The script's executes this line, which launches setup.exe successfully:

setup.exe -d -q -R C:\Cygwin -L "C:\documents and settings\schamji\desktop\new-cygwin installation v2.3"

Setup begins to parse the ini file, but never begins installing. It consumes 100% of the CPU and chews up memory by about 2MB per second until the server runs out of memory. In C:\Cygwin\var\log, the setup.log and setup.log.full files are created. Setup.log contains this:

Setup.log.full contains this after only running few a few minutes:

If I launch from the command line WITHOUT the -q switch, it requires me to hit enter a few times, but doesn't go into this infinite loop. Any ideas?
