I did have the exact same problem described by Matthias, Windows XP,
user is in administrators group.

The setup.log showed no error, just that the file (cygwin1.dll) was
scheduled for replacement.  Sorry, don't have setup.log.full since after
rebooting and checking that the file was not replaced I stopped the
service that was blocking the replacement and reinstalled (didn't know
that setup.exe overwrites that log).
