Delete all registry-entries referring to cygnus solutions ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions") they are inconsistent. Looks like you once installed Cygwin (may be as administrator) in one place (C:/cygwin) and once in "u:\tmp1\cygwin\" without first removing the other one (from registry). Then install again. Other approach: correct the registry settings by hand - if you know what you are doing.
