That's what I did. I got the setup-x86.exe to the desktop. And then I run it and get the

running 64-bit windows.
That's not what you said in your original mail. You said "when I try to
update my 32-bit Cygwin using setup-x86-64". Again, you can't do that.
And you need to use the commandline options that have been pointed out
multiple times now. They're making it intentionally hard to install
32-bit Cygwin, because it's no longer supported. You need to read the
instructions more carefully.
