The first attempt to install Cygwin using the 2.54 setup was over an
exisitng install, I had downloaded all the Cygwin setup binary tarballs to
just one directory and launched setup from there. The reason I choose to
reinstall was all the Cygwin setup binary tarballs showed up as new again.
The method installed into a random directory name (file then openssh) in the
directory where the Cygwin binaries tarballs are, even though I always
choose C:\Cygwin\.
It also caused the /usr/bin and /usr/lib mounts to be removed and didn't
restore those 2 mounts on the second setup attempt.

The last attempt was a clean fresh download and install from the internet
which caused most of the executable and dll files (*.exe and *.dll) to be
installed in /usr/bin instead of /bin.. I had also deleted the Cynus
Solution registry keys from the Software sectiond of Local Machine and User
sections of registry first before attempting this clean install.

The final problem was the when I run Cygwin setup again after an
installation and choose to show all packages, not all of the installled
packages offer an uninstall option. Several still only offer the option of
skip and the version number of the package (Reinstall?).
