I couldn't install Cygwin on a Windows 2008 machine. The setup stalls when terminfo.sh /etc/postinstall/terminfo.sh gets executed. Bash goes up to CPU load between 80% and 100% (but I checked with Process Monitor that bash does not access the file system or the registry). When i first install the new release (click on "experimental") and on a second run the rest the installation works fine.
