Thanx for the fast response Marco. 
Same error as above : 
tzset: can't find matching POSIX timezone for Windows timezone "India
standard time". 

As I understand, is this a compatibility issue of cygwin with Win7? 
One of them has withdrawn support/definition for the Indian timezone? 
Any matching TZ for GMT +05.30? 

I tried running existing setup.exe v2.831 (32 bit) to update cygwin1.dll but
setup is saying that the ini file is from a newer version of setup-x86.exe
and then NL errors. Can't proceed. 

Running latest setup.exe v2.871 (32 bit) needing total install which I don't
want to do now as it might break the compilers, make et al.
