Thanks again for the additional information.  I will be working
my way through the entire FAQ at that link.

 From that link:

Perhaps, DIY (Do It Yourself) could be added.  My
guess is that it is more commonly used and
understood than "fix yourself it."



I am not yet using cygwin 1.7.  I am trying to install it (and
un-install it) as I think a naive user might.  I read the following
two links that were provided with the announcement for
cygwin-1.7.0-50:

I see that at http://cygwin.com/1.7/faq/faq.setup.html, item 8 references
the link that you provided under the heading "My computer hangs when
I run Cygwin Setup!"   My computer is not "hanging" -- it is just issuing
error messages during install/un-install using setup-1.7.exe.
