which bring us back to the original question; is there a working version of Lilypond that is available for Windows? I am suspecting that the answer is no, unless you have all kinds of additional facilities like direct net connection.
You only need the net connection for downloading the Cygwin packages needed in the installation. Once you have them on local disk or a CD, you can run the installation without any network connection.
In principle it's very easy also if you only have access to a Linux computer with a CD burner or file sharing possibilities to your windows machine, just copy the necessary files from any Cygwin mirror (preserving the directory structure). The main practical problem is to selectively download only the packages you need, since a full copy may be to large to handle. Unfortunately I'm running a partly experimental installation at the moment, so it's no use to copy my list of packages, but the list of packages found at the end of http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-08/txt00001.txt (under the title "Cygwin Package Information") should be recent enough to be relevant.
