Please excuse my newby-ignorance, but I can't work out how to progress this without some help

Steps taken
- Downloaded setup-x86_64.exe
- Run setup-x86_64.exe using admflma (administrator account)
- Logged in as netflma (my usual windows login)
- Unable to start Cygwin from desktop icon 
  - unable to find mintty.exe
- Able to start Cygwin from command line
  - (C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat)
- Error message is Your group is currently "mkpasswd" .. ..
- mkpasswd -l  > /etc/passwd
  - bash: /etc/passwd: Permission denied
- drwxr-xr-x+ 1 admflma mkpasswd      0 22 jan 13.39 etc
- If I run the console as user admflma, then no errors are reported
- Log in to windows as admflma and start Cygwin from desktop icon
  - unable to find mintty.exe
- The objective is that any user on the computer can run Cygwin, but particularly netflma (user without admin rights)
- My guess is that the windows permissions are wrong for C:\cygwin64. I have attempted to give all rights to all users, but this has not solved the problem
