Once you find where cygcheck actually is using Windows Explorer's find file
facility, you can execute it by giving the exact directory location.  For
example if it is in c:\some_other_dir\, you should be able to run it in the
MSDOS shell by typing:
   c:\some_other_dir\cygcheck -s -r

You should also be able to execute it from bash as:
   c:/some_other_dir/cygcheck -s -r

/bin and /usr/bin should be the same directory (normally c:\cygwin\bin) if
your mounts are correct; the same applies to /lib and /usr/lib.  I recommend
deleting your entire installation and using setup.exe to "Install from
Internet" into the default location (c:\cygwin\).  You probably should
remove all the registry entries under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus
Solutions" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions" first.
