thank you for your advice.
I found that if i fist start windows cmd shell and from it run cygwin.bat, everything is ok.
but if I double click the icon of cygwin.bat on desktop, what I mentioned before still happen even if I set the environment variable.
another problem is after install, why my user name is 'unknown', how can i change it.
the following is the contents of cygcheck.out
