I haven't used that software, so these are only suggestions.

The Tex Live documentation site <http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc.html>
has a link titled, "Binaries for i386-cygwin".  You apparently
installed the win32 version, but maybe that one would be better.

Try these under bash:

  echo "$PATH"

Carefully look to insure the path is correct.

  type xelatex

If the 'type' command can't find it, it's a different kind of problem
than not being able to execute.

  chmod +x xelatax

Maybe bash doesn't recognize it as an executable.
