That sounds like your problem, that the setup.ini 
file thinks you are "all set" and don't need to 
install certain things. I have "as.exe" in my 
c:/cygwin/bin directory- You can try deleting 
your setup.ini (or renaming it) and then run 
setup.exe again, or maybe you can even click on 
"Full/Part" to get a "full" installation on 
the other machine.
