After you run the Cygwin setup.exe you have to run it again to ensure that
all packags wee downloaded successfully as often they are not. Most lokely
your log file will show yo tha you are missing the gzip or tar package or
something like that. Just run setup.exe and it will tell you if some
packages were not downloaded and it will prompt you t get them if they
are missing. Repeat this step until all packages have been downloaded.
