DISPLAY is not set.  If you need further help with Cygwin/X, please ask on
the cygwin-xfree list.  Your other message was redirected there already.
This reply concerns insight.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wrong.  You didn't need to download "insight" separately, it should have
been already installed in /usr/bin (since you apparently installed
everything).  The version that you've downloaded is likely not compiled
for Cygwin, and so won't understand Cygwin POSIX paths.  Just run
"/usr/bin/insight test.exe".
