Dear colleagues,


Pressing 'retry', the window keeps refreshing continuously. Pressing
'continue' leads to a hang in the process, and canceling it leads to:

""Cannot open log file D:\"Documents and
Settings"\CXZH/var/log/setup.log for writing""


do not install in a directory with space in the name like
"Documents and  Settings"

Try using the standard
D:\cygwin

The directory ...CXZH... is my home the Windows XP, and I do have
write access to it. I believe this is a problem with '\' and '/', but
I am not sure and have no idea about how to solve it.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much in advance.
