...which says...

"Warning: There are multiple cygwin1.dlls on your path"

...and lists....

  602k 2005/06/26 C:\WINDOWS\system32\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
                  "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2005/5/25 19:38

 1831k 2006/07/01 C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll - os=4.0 img=1.0 sys=4.0
                  "cygwin1.dll" v0.0 ts=2006/7/1 2:22

  You must need more coffee!  

  As to it failing when it tries to delete it, that must be because something
is keeping it in use; either try shutting all your other apps down, or maybe
use something like sysinternals' process explorer and search for which app has
a handle to cygwin1.dll.
