This is probably a known bug to do with corrupted package listing files
which can be generated if a previous run was interrupted.
To check, run "zcat /etc/setup/cygrunsrv.lst.gz" in a bash shell; if it
gives an error message, that confirms the problem.
If that is the case, you could give a try to my fixed version of setup.exe
http://rapidshare.com/files/98717404/setup.exe
or you could just delete the cygrunsrv.lst.gz manually and try again.
If not, post again, we'll see what else might be going wrong.
cheers,
