 Are you sure, you read and understand the documentation?

 Any way,

 I am sure you already got this right, but ...

 Setup has two major operation modes:
 - just download
 - install (either from net or a previously download)

 Make sure you actually installed some things.

 (Last setup version I tried was somewhat confusing about how to
  install things. Make sure you expanded the package-list, and the
  "new" column shows "install" or a version-number.)

 After real installation, you will find a file "cygwin.bat" in the root
 installation directory.
 Click on this cygwin.bat to start a bash-shell.

 (There is no such thing as a "cygwin.exe", because cygwin is a
  Posix-emulation-library and a collection of (GNU-) tools that
  use this emulation library.)
