If you can reproduce the issue using normal (that is, supported) way of
installing Cygwin, you're welcome to provide necessary information, including
logs and stuff. Documentation can be obtained through the links at the end of
the message.
If not... See fig.1.

No. I have zero knowledge of the product you are talking about.
This is Cygwin mailing list. If you want some support, you gotta use supported
ways to obtain the product.

See the links at the end of the message for further information.

P.S.
@CGF: Yes, I know, how it sounds. You have all rights to laugh.
