There might be other problems as well. Symlinks are also going to be affected. We couldn't find a reliable solution back in Win7 to simply copy Cygwin installation by preserving the symlinks in a zip archive.

I would strongly advise to perform a normal installation and simply copy only the contents of your Cygwin home directory (C:\Cygwin\home\<username>). It will be quicker that trying to identify and fix all the possible issues.
