I mean, there is no "user" named SYSTEM to which I could log into.
The commands were ran while logged as Administrator.

This is odd. Whatever I try, it always gives the same error:

    //root AT W2KPICASSO /cygdrive/g $ env | grep CYGWIN
    CYGWIN=tty ntsec binmode

    $ cygrunsrv --stop cron && cygrunsrv --remove cron

With env -a "-D -e CYGWIN=\"tty ntsec binmode\""

    $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a "-D -e CYGWIN=\"tty ntsec binmode\"" && cygrunsrv --start cron
    cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
    The service has not been started.

With quotes -a "-D"

    $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a "-D" && cygrunsrv --start cron
    cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
    The service has not been started.

Without quotes -a -D

    $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D && cygrunsrv --start cron
    cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
    The service has not been started.

Without -a -D

    $ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron && cygrunsrv --start cron
    cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus:  Win32 error 1062:
    The service has not been started.

Event log says:

    The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( cron ) cannot be
    found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
    information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
    computer. The following information is part of the event: cron : Win32
    Process Id = 0x214 : Cygwin Process Id = 0x214 : starting service
    `cron' failed: execv: 255, error 0.

Any more ideas are welcome, how can I help to debug this?
