2.510.2.2: bash won't open after install

Greetings,

  I have spent the past week trying to find an answer to my problem in
the mail archives.  When this server was initially built, Cygwin
worked fine.  Two days later, the bash window would not open any more.
 It seems that no matter how many times I reinstall Cygwin, I cannot
get the bash window to open.  My latest attempt to reinstall Cygwin
occurred two hours ago.  I downloaded the latest version from the web
after thoroughly removing the file directory and any registry key
entry that contained a reference with the word Cygnus or Cygwin in it.
 The server is a Windows 2003 Server (SP1) machine.

  The set.log.full file had a new message in it that I had not seen
before today (which may have something to do with me installing a
newer version of software than I had been trying previously):

2005/12/27 12:27:47 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c /etc/postinstall/00ash.sh

2005/12/27 12:34:43 mbox note: Installation Complete
2005/12/27 12:34:46 Ending cygwin install

  I am not quite sure how to handle that one.

  Like my previous installations, the /etc directory was not populated
as I would have expected it to be.  The only file in there is the
termcap file.  There are no group or passwd files to be found there.

  I have attached the output from cygcheck -svr.  I have noticed that
sh.exe is listed as missing, and it sure is not in the bin directory. 
The sh.exe file was in there last week, so I guess that something new
has failed during this installation which had been working before.

  I am not sure that sending the strace output would be particularly
useful at this point in time, though I can send one if anyone would
like see it.

  Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Nick
