I found that downloading from multiple mirrors was the primary cause of this failure! In the location known to the installer, I download updates and then in a second pass Install from Local Disk. WHEN more than one mirror's data was stored in a subdir, this error occured using the latest setup.exe. >From another post, I also learned that the spaces in "\documents and settings\userprofile\downloads\cygwin_pkgs" could be a problem, so I relocated the directory to C:\cygwin_pkgs. With these two changes, the St16invalid_argument was avoided and the updates were properly applied.
