When you run setup to do the install, you need to use the same "Local
Package Directory" that you used when you ran it to do the download. I
suspect you're instead using the directory containing the packages; this
is no longer supported as of setup version 2.883.
From https://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2017-12/msg00169.html:
- Remove support for installing from a local directory which doesn't
contain a setup.ini file
