Thank you for your help. Here is the output from running your command:

For arch="x86":
     ./cygwin/x86/setup.ini
     ./cygwinports/x86/setup.ini

For arch="x86_64":
     ./cygwin/x86_64/setup.ini
     ./cygwinports/x86_64/setup.ini

This is as described above by my ASCII art. I have been using this 
directory structure successfully with previous versions of setup. Is 
this layout incorrect?

Dave.
