Newer is better but either should work in your case.

If the installation doesn't get you a working Cygwin, you need to look for
other buggy system software getting in the way.  This includes things like
virus scanners, firewalls, spyware, and even Logitech webcams, etc.  You'll
need to try uninstalling these to get things working and then re=install
until you find the problematic package.  Agnitum Outpost and Kerio firewall
products have specifically been implicated by users on this list and seem
to be popping up allot lately.
