"sh" in Cygwin is the same as "bash", so that will have (almost) exactly
the same behavior.  You have a problem with your installation, whether you
think setup completed successfully or not.  Please read and follow the
directions at

Please pay particular attention to the part that asks you to attach (as an
uncompressed text *attachment*) the output of "cygcheck -svr" on your
machine.

Also, as others have said, open a CMD shell, run C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat from
there, and post any error messages you receive.
HTH,
