It would also show the information about mounts, users, etc. I was about to ask a whole bunch of questions, but then realized that the cygcheck output will contain the answers for most of them, hence the advice. FWIW, it doesn't look like a download vs install issue, since the original poster did say that the files exist in /bin. It's more likely a permission problem.
