Why are you directly downloading from the mirror? The point of setup.exe
is to do the downloading for you, so that you don't directly have to grab
stuff from the mirrors and risk messing up the installation yourself.

Your attachment was not given a text MIME format, making it harder to read.
> Path: .
> C:\WINDOWS\system32
Not necessarily a bug, but you are inviting problems by putting . ahead of
normal directories. It is wiser to put . last, if you want it in your PATH.
> \C:\WINDOWS\system32
Hmm, that PATH entry looks suspicious. Maybe it is the cause of your
problems.
> Cygwin Package Information
> Last downloaded files to: I:\Downloads\cygwin_downloads
> Last downloaded files from: ftp://ftp.easynet.be/cygwin
Looks like you have a normal download...
> bash 3.2.15-13
with bash already installed. Therefore, I don't know that I follow your
complaint about bash not being available.
