BTW, the setup.log didn't give much information. Just said that the setup started and ended. The download directories in the path did not contain a recent setup.ini file. In the end, what worked for me was to change from Direct connection to Use IE5 settings (but in LAN settings are empty, and I haven't touched that in a long time). Well, the other thing that was different was that I ran setup.exe from a cygwin shell and made sure it's the right one. I(sort of) doubt that this was the issue since all I did was execute the same thing I was double-clicking on. I guess, it's also possible that something changed in the repository, I don't know how to check that.
