I recently needed to do a total re-install of cygwin [ totalled one partition ]. Took forever to get through the download stage because I kept getting some network problems, but it finally got to the post-install.
During the post-install I observed several failures of the usual fork-resource type. However, they fly past too quickly to capture any useful information. In the postinstall directory, all the scripts seem to have been renamed x.sh.done; so I guess they didn't totally crash the setup. But I can't determine now which ones might have had problems. Would it be a big deal to have the various setup scripts send their output to, say, /var/log/setup/SCRIPTNAME.log? -- David A.
