If you want to uninstall, see the FAQ link below:

<http://cygwin.com/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all>

The install should be obvious to you by now. :-)

While setup.exe does recognize when you have in-use DLLs during an
update, the recovery from this does not seem to be fool-proof.  My
guess is your problems stemmed from this.  Since you'll be installing
from a clean system, things work fine.  The best thing to do in
the future is make sure no Cygwin processes are running when you do
an update.
