Oh, thanks for that! I was looking for an old version of the installer, but I didn't found one. I'll try this one.

Thanks for putting it on the Tracker :) But I hope that using an old version of the installer helps me :D (well, at least a quick solution!).
EDIT: OH MY SWEET JESUS! As I thought, using an old version solved the problem. Thank you so much cool walking for finding that one! Damn, so nice to see my changes working on my e200! :D Anyway the problem need to be fixed, so newer versions of Cygwin installer can download Rockbox stuff without any problems. We don't know how long old versions of the installer will be available for download ;D
LinusN:
I don't know how to fix it. I haven't found anything on the subject on the cygwin.com site.
Llorean:
For all we know it may actually be a bug in the installer. It's possible the file isn't supposed to be necessary but the current version fails without it anyway.

I didn't just find that URL somewhere, I uploaded it. It can stay around as long as this issue isn't fixed.
Incidentally, if anyone wants a Dropbox account, I have 10 invites, so just PM me.
EDIT: Aha, found this:
