Using the package search available at cygwin.com, it appears to me that
there has been a "hiccup" in the upload for this package.  Here are the
results of searching for cygncursesw-10.dll under x86 and x86_64:

x86:
	x86/cygwin64-ncurses/cygwin64-ncurses-5.9-5	
	x86/libncursesw10/libncursesw10-5.7-18	

x86_64:
	x86_64/cygwin32-ncurses/cygwin32-ncurses-5.7-1	
	x86_64/libncursesw10/libncursesw10-5.9-4	
	x86_64/ncurses-debuginfo/ncurses-debuginfo-5.9-4	

Note that the 64-bit version is also listed under the 32-bit
installation and vice-versa.  And this doesn't seem quite right. ;-)
In any case, for the moment, I'd recommend that you install the
libncrsesw10 package for x86.  That should resolve the immediate
issue for you.
