I have had the following failure 2 out of 4 times (see [1]):
Program 'setup.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a
valid application for this OS platform.
The problem no longer occurs.
I think it was probably an issue caused by a malformed executable in a
mirror/CDN (which would explain why it worked sometimes and sometimes
not).
That's kind of worrying, but also kind of typical of MS service expectations ;^>
You could download and install Windows gnupg2 stable (2.4.5 current):
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.4.5.tar.bz2
https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.4.5.tar.bz2.sig
https://gnupg.org/signature_key.asc
to check that download and install; and use that with:
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe.sig
https://cygwin.com/key/pubring.asc
to check the Cygwin Setup program; and (example) mirror:
https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.xz
https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.xz.sig
https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/setup.ini.sig
to check compressed and decompressed setup data.
Unfortunately sha512.sum checksum files are no longer reliable, unless they have
a later time stamp than the other downloads, as they are updated asynchronously.
