I just hit the same problem, and the same fix (deleting /etc/setup/bash.lst.gz) worked for me too. Here is what led to this happening: 1. I had an older version of bash installed, and ran the cygwin setup while I had a couple of bash window open. 2. Setup reported "file in use, please close and select retry or cancel". 3. I closed the bash windows by right-clicking on the Windows task bar and selecting close, but by doing it that way I accidentally closed the setup window too (since it has the same icon and looks the same on the task bar). 4. I reran setup which got to "uninstalling bash" and then crashed.
