Setup.exe crashes before opening the servers window on Windows XP

Setup.exe crashes before opening the servers window on Windows XP

[gialloporpora]

Dear all,
I have the same problem reported in this topic:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-03/msg00259.html

any time I start setup.exe (I need to update some packages)  I have this 
error message:

 >
 > Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
 > Runtime Error!
 > Program: C:\cygwin\setup.exe
 > This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an 
unusual way.
 > Please contact the application's support team for more information.

unfortunatelly the modified setup.exe linked in the topic is not 
available and I don't have understand how to fix it.
I have Windows XP SP3 and it has worked fine  until my last restart. I 
have uninstalled  git  in the previous session. The cygwin environment 
seems to work fine, only setup.exe has problems.

Sandro

I have the latest version, I have downloaded it yesterday:
> C:\cygwin>Starting cygwin install, version 2.774

and it worked fine until  I have uninstalled some packages and rebooted 
my computer.

RiOk, thanks Marco (grazie :-))
Now I have solved. I have removed (renamed) the file setup.rc in 
/etc/setup and it works again.
