Right, but the OP _wanted_ to keep their old paths.  Gilbert, you can change the install path of Cygwin64 at install-time to be C:\cygwin.  There's no requirement for the 64-bit version to be installed in a "cygwin64" directory.

Alternatively, you could let it install into C:\cygwin64 and then make a Junction or Symbolic Link (e.g. using mklink in a Command Prompt) from cygwin to cygwin64, but if it were me I'd probably go with your original intention.
