-W is the same, no impact.

Fits my observations. https://superuser.com/questions/908664/have-the-command-prompt-launch-an-application-like-notepad-and-block-until-it-is helps.

start /b /wait c:\inst\setup-x86_64.exe -q -f -R c:\cygwin64 -l c:\inst -P libgcrypt-devel,asciidoc,cygport,gcc-g++,libpoppler-cpp-devel,libpcre-devel,dejagnu,texlive-collection-latex

from cmd.exe use start /b /wait

/B Start application without creating a new window. The application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt the application.

/WAIT Start application and wait for it to terminate.

My real issue was the user was not an admin - doh!
