Now when ran with the proper permissiong, setup.exe still hangs.  Here is the output just before setup.exe hangs:
-------------------------------- start
$c/cygwin-packages/setup -q -n -D -K http://cygwin.com/setup.exe.sig  -l C:\cygwin-packages  -R C:\cygwin  -s http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/cygwin   -P openssh
Starting cygwin install, version 2.774
User has backup/restore rights
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-host) failed 2 No such file or directory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/net-proxy-port) failed 2 No such file or directory
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/extrakeys) failed 2 No such file or directory
Current Directory: C:cygwin-packages
Could not open service McShield for query, start and stop. McAfee may not be installed, or we don't have access.
Selected local directory: C:cygwin-packages
---------------- end

I have no idea about what the reference to "McShield" or to "McAfee" is about. All I can think of is that it is proprietary software that I don't own and Mr. McAfee is in South America somewhere.  Is the absence of this causing setup.exe to go crazy and 
hang?

Any advice to get this working would be appreciated.
Thanks
