Hi Ken,
Thanks for finding that. However, I am using the same "Local Package
Directory" that I used
when I ran it to do the download. For example, here's where things were for all
the steps:
1. Directory C:\Updates\cygwin_download, containing setup-x86_64.exe and
nothing else
2. Ran setup, "Download without installing", specifying
C:\Updates\cygwin_download as
the local package directory, then selected additional packages and
performed the download.
at this point, C:\Updates\cygwin_download contained setup-x86_64.exe and a
subdirectory for the mirror site. The setup.ini file was in a x64_64
subdirectory
under the mirror site subdirectory.
3. Then I ran setup again, "Install from local directory", with C:\cygwin64 as
the root directory
and C:\Updates\cygwin_download as the local package directory.
Should I have specified something differently for it to detect the additional
packages that I
selected for download? I looked in setup.ini and it does list the additional
packages that
I had selected.
Regards,
Robert

When you run setup to do the install, you need to use the same "Local
Package Directory" that you used when you ran it to do the download. I
suspect you're instead using the directory containing the packages; this
is no longer supported as of setup version 2.883.
From https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2017-12/msg00169.html:
- Remove support for installing from a local directory which doesn't
contain a setup.ini file
