I found a copy of cygwin in c:\program files\ which did not work 
for obvious reasons. I deleted it and cygwin setup installed cygwin 
just fine. I'm not sure how cygwin got into that directory but I 
suspect another application like Java developers kit or something 
similar installed it there.

In anycase, it runs just fine now.

Thanks,
X
