 From what I recall, post-texmf takes a long time with its
postinstall script.  You can try running it yourself from
'bash' to see if it will finish in a few hours.  After which
you should rerun 'setup.exe' to finish off all the other
postinstall scripts.  Or you can just rerun 'setup.exe'
again and wait for it to finish.  The latter is probably
easier but either should work.
