There's some kind of characteristic of Windows architecture which means that if you are trying to install Cygwin from a release stored on a local drive (or CD or as in your case a USB device) then the attempt will fail if setup.exe and setup.ini are located at H:/ and release/ is located at H:/release/. For reasons that I do not understand you have to bury the Cygwin release at least one directory deep on the device, such as

        H:/Cyg0/setup.exe
        H:/Cyg0/setup.ini
        H:/Cyg0/release/

Any name for the burial site will do.

Any help?
