When you run setup to do the install, you need to use the same "Local 
Package Directory" that you used when you ran it to do the download.  I 
suspect you're instead using the directory containing the packages; this 
is no longer supported as of setup version 2.883.

From https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2017-12/msg00169.html:

  - Remove support for installing from a local directory which doesn't
    contain a setup.ini file
