What it indicates, as Larry Hall said in his reply to your first post, is that some of the postinstall scripts didn't succeed. He advised you to send setup.log.full and the "requested output described in the problem-reporting link". He was referring to cygcheck output, as explained in

You replied that you are "unable to look at setup.log.full", but you didn't say what happens when you try.
