Hm, I had the same problem not too long ago.  Either the Cygwin
installer changed its layout, or the layout is different between XP
and 2k.  This is why I prefer to avoid AutoIT when I can, but Cygwin
gives us no choice.  (It now has some support for an "unattended"
mode, but it just doesn't work.)

The version in 2.7a is what I am using now, though, and it works for
me on XP.  So you will probably have to debug this yourself, which
means learning how to write/read AutoIT scripts.  Don't worry, it's
not hard :-).

Pull up cygwin.aut, and find the line which reads:

  LeftClick, 60, 135

This is where it is trying to click to "select all packages".

Run "AutoIT.exe /reveal" to run AutoIT in "reveal mode", which will
keep a window up telling you all sorts of useful information, like
where the mouse currently is...  With reveal mode running, do an
install by hand and see where the "select all packages" button is.

Please send on the results of what you discover, because I am curious
why it is working for me but not for you.
