Open the properties of the CygWin icon you are clicking on to launch
CygWin. Clear the "Close on Exit" box. Now the DOS window will hang around
instead of disappearing in a flash and you will be able to read whatever
error message is really being written there. Odds are, that message will be
mentioned in the FAQ or in the mailing list archives.
