Have you inspected the 'setup.log' and 'setup.log.full' files in /var/log/?
They might provide some clues about where setup is having problems.  If 
those
files do not make it clear what you need to do, then the experts on 'setup'
might be able to help with the information those files provide.

Also, which version of emacs does cygwin think is installed?

   $ cygcheck -c emacs emacs-el
