The reason that your sshd service will not start is because you did not
remove the service, and the one currently installed still points to the
old location.  ssh-host-config will not overwrite an existing service,
so you need to remove the service and re-run the script.

Please consider in the future using the procedure outlined at
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all> to
uninstall Cygwin.  The first step listed there would have solved your
problem, and there is no need to go editing the registry when "umount
-A" exists.
