Usually, you should leave Windows directories on your PATH, and just
append to it rather than replacing it.

- From cmd, you have to use Windows syntax to invoke a program (.\bash, not
./bash).

That's because cygcheck is a native windows program that works even if the
rest of cygwin does not.

Please ATTACH, not send inline, the output of cygcheck -svr (your -cvr
output is not as helpful), per the directions here:
