Setup.exe doesn't depend on cygwin1.dll.  Any postinstall scripts
probably do, but they should be able to find the dll if the rest of
the installation isn't corrupted.

Try re-installing the cygwin package from the local directory using
setup.exe, then exit setup.exe and run it again to re-install your
other packages.  Not using setup.exe makes it much harder for anyone
here to help and most of us won't try.

http://cygwin.com/bugs.html may help you track this down further.  The
output from cygcheck.exe may be particularly interesting.

Your c:\autoexec.bat may be corrupted.  I think Win98 and WinME still
use autoexec.bat for setting global environment variables.  It should
be a text file in any case.

Adding c:\cygwin\bin to your global %PATH% is useful for normal
operations, but it should not affect setup.exe or any postinstall
scripts.

It shouldn't matter.  I have a copy of setup.exe in the base directory
of my local package archive cache tree (i.e., local directory) with a
shortcut pointing to it, but you should be able to run it from
anywhere by any means you like.
