32-bit/64-bit sharing of Local Package Directories

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Nellis, Kenneth!

I think you've used your current installation directory a little too long. :)
Delete the setup.log{,.full}, they are no longer placed along the Cygwin setup
executable. Mine's not been changed since september.
