 In the past day (Feb. 3-4, 2009) I've re-run C:\gnu\OSGeo4W\bin\osgeo4w-
 setup.exe (using Start > OSGeo4W > Setup) on my setup to add/update
 various packages, and when the program is at "Installing .. setup-1.0.3-6
 .. /bin/osgeo4w-setup.exe" I get a dialog (see also attached):
  '''In-use files detected'''

  Unable to extract /bin/osgeo4w-setup.exe -- the file is in use. Please
 stop all Cygwin processes and select "Retry", or select "Continue" to go
 on anyway (you will need to reboot).

  '''Retry'''/'''Continue'''

 It seems to me that this is circular logic, as the setup is running and
 trying to update itself from version 1.0.3-4 to 1.0.3-6.

 I've repeated this behaviour on two XPSP3 computers and on a Win2003
 Server.
