According to your cygcheck output says you have an old installation in
'd:\cygwin-old'.  If true, please remove this and then run:

   cygcheck --delete-orphaned-installation-keys

Then reinstall Cygwin in it's current location (just re-run "setup.exe"
and specify "Reinstall" for "All".  Your current installation is
incomplete, presumably because of some conflict with your "old"
installation.
