>> When I run setup.exe it gets to 99% completion and hangs on:

What do the following say?
$ ls -l /bin/sh.exe /bin/bash.exe
$ bash --version
$ sh --version
> 2. Running setup.exe from a command shell with only c:\Cygwin\bin in the
> PATH.

Should not make a difference. setup.exe is not a cygwin executable, so it
 does not depend on cygwin/bin being in or out of the PATH.
>> 4. Running "cmd.exe /c C:\Cygwin\etc\postinstall01円bash.bat" in the command

That's exactly what setup.exe does.
Other things to check - are you running a buggy driver? (Known culprits
include Agnitum outpost, Logitech webcam, McAfee virus products, but this
list is not comprehensive).

You have quite a few things in your path. Could any of them be providing
an alternate /bin/sh, even though this cygcheck output didn't detect one?
 Also, when you ran setup.exe, did you have an instance of bash or sh
already running?
Other than that, all I can suggest is manually doing what 01bash.sh would
have done, which is roughly 'cp /bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe'.
