Those postinstall scripts run fc-cache, which fails.  So setup.exe 
reports the failures.

There's nothing odd about the third line.  I don't know about the first two.

So someone who knows more about fontconfig than I do will have to help 
you figure out why fc-cache is failing.  You might be better off 
starting a new thread for this, since it doesn't appear to be a texlive 
problem.  And don't forget to attach cygcheck output.
