Hard to say without more information, as requested in

but I suspect you have stale mounts from your previous install.  See where
your mounts point to by running the "mount" command.  Then run
"mount -sf d:/cygwin /; mount -sf d:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin; mount -sf
d:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib" and reinstall.  You can then remove the old tree...

Latest with respect to what?  An exact version number would be much more
informative.
