Background:
Attempting to use a Windows Server 2008 64-bit Terminal server as a "Jump-Box"
from one network (corporate very locked down and restricted software) to
another (lab servers and QA and development). I figure if I put the necessary
software on the 'Jump-Box' and grant users the ability to remote desktop in,
they will be able to use the software they need without the need for 2 separate
machines (one for corporate, one for the lab servers). Since my users will need
to connect to Linux servers and Windows does not have a built in ssh or scp I
needed a solution. I've used Cygwin in the past and by putting C:\cygwin\bin
into the environmental path I was able to ssh and scp right from the command
(DOS) box. Simple, easy, cake.
Attempting to install Cygwin 1.5.25-15 (fresh download from
ftp.gtlib.gatech.edu, base install) on the 'Jump-Box' from RDP (Remote Desktop)
as a user with full Administrators permissions appears to complete but looking
at the log it seems all the postinstall scripts failed (see attachments:
FAILsetup.log and FAILsetup.log.full). Attempting the install from the console
as Administrator generates the same results. As a result the functionality I'm
looking for is not working. I've done extensive searches and find very little
information on those errors, my problem or any solution.

Results from the install (each from a fresh command prompt):
1) ls -l - Works fine. No problems at all.
2) scp - Instantly generates a windows message box (no further text in the
command window): "scp.exe has stopped working Windows is checking for a
solution to the problem. blah, blah, blah". No solution presents itself.
3) ssh - Generates the following error:
C:\cygwin\bin>ssh

5) cygcheck.exe -s - Appears to work fine except I don't like the
output. Attached as cygcheck.log.
Things I've tried:
1) I've tried changing permissions on all files and folders.
2) I've tried using compatibility mode.
3) I've tried renaming setup.exe to avoid the 2008 'elevated' popup.
4) I've tried to install from UltraVNC, RDP and from the console as different
people and admin powers.
It seems very, very close to what this person is experiencing:
