Current setup.exe does not work properly if retry is used. Steps to reproduce:
1. Run some Cygwin shell to keep cygwin1.dll locked. 2. Run setup.exe 2.674. 3. Select "Reinstall cygwin" and start installation. 4. Wait for message box "Unable to extract /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll -- the file is in use". 5. Stop the shell and select "Retry". After installation most files of package cygwin are missing and a bogus file named MZ\220 (first 3 bytes from EXE Header) is in cygwin root: $ zcat /etc/setup/cygwin.lst.gz | cat -A etc/$ etc/defaults/$ etc/defaults/etc/$ etc/defaults/etc/cygserver.conf$ usr/$ usr/bin/$ usr/bin/cygcheck.exe$ usr/bin/cyglsa-config$ usr/bin/cyglsa.dll$ usr/bin/cyglsa64.dll$ usr/bin/cygpath.exe$ usr/bin/cygserver-config$ usr/bin/cygwin-console-helper.exe$ usr/bin/cygwin1.dll$ MZM-^P$ $ ls -b -1 / MZ\220 bin boot cygdrive ... $ ls /bin/regtool.exe ls: cannot access /bin/regtool.exe: No such file or directory Another reinstall with cygwin1.dll not locked fixes this.
