Not being given the option of installing packages on setup

Hi
Thanks for the quick reply and suggestions. I'm sorry I didn't read to the
bottom of the reporting problems page. My mistake.
1. I did try switching to full mode and everything disappeared in the menu
of choices.
2. sorry to be unclear. By "setup folder" I do mean the local directory
that setup asks for. It seems that there's a setup.exe file and 2 other
files that are created. If there's something else I should delete, please
let me know.
4. I have attached a text file of the cygcheck -svc output.
Thank you,
Tasha
