Installing w/o setup.ini

I am attempting to install Cygwin from a CD-ROM containing downloaded Cygwin files (src and bin) but which does not have a setup.ini/setup.hint. I do not have a Cygwin/Unix enabled computer or access to the net and can't use, e.g., Polley Christopher W. (8 Nov 2002) script to generate a .ini fil
