It is Cygwin providing a base package, that you have.
The key word is "providing", means, it's already available to the community.
What you want to do is to repackage and redistribute what is already packaged
and distributed. Doing fool's work, don't you think?

I don't understand your inclination with MSI first, and Cygwin does NOT play
by Windows rules, second.
Cygwin, per definition, adapt Linux, not Windows, paradigm, and may be VERY
destructive, if not installed correctly.

What you want to be is not a point of discussion.
What you are trying to do - that's what matters.
Instead of learning the tools available (setup and cygport i.e.), you are
trying to produce a solution using tools you [think you] understand (MSI).

P.S.
I think many readers of the list would appreciate, if you stop quoting the
people's templates.
