I also had this problem, but I managed to solve it and wanted to share my solution with the mailing list. C:\cygwin\etc\setup\bash.lst.gz was corrupt, opening it in WinRAR and trying to view the file inside it resulted in an error about "Unexpected end of file". I deleted this file, ran setup.exe and just kept hitting "Next". Bash upgraded fine and setup exited normally.
