No. There are two points here: 1. You can install the rpm command from the Cygwin distribution, you don't need an external package, just use setup.exe and choose "rpm" to install. 2. Your original quest, installing tinyos, will probably fail. I don't know what tinyos is but if the rpm package has any compiled code in it, it is compiled for a certain operating system and processor, most probably linux/intel and will not run under Cygwin/intel. If the contents are java (code and/or jars) then it probably works. Why don't you install the Cygwin specific package?
