Starting from the beginning: I went to the Download page for LilyPond 2.0 for Windows. (I am using XP and am logged on as the administrator.) I did a "shift-click" on the set-up file and then was able to install Cygwin. But I never came across a "select" page that resembles the one on your page which listed LilyPond. What did I do wrong?
The "Select Packages" dialog is just after the "Choose A Download Site" dialog. Make sure you select Publishing:lilypond as well as XFree86:XFree86-prog. I couldn't get lilypond to execute until I reran setup and manually selected the XFree86-prog package. This package contains some libraries and headers that are required to get lilypond working. Actually, they may only be needed for the downstream tools (dvips or something).
Does the Lilypond development team maintain the Cygwin package? If so, please consider adding the XFree86-prog as a dependency of Lilypond.
I have run lilypond in cygwin without XFree86, so it should definitely not be necessary. The only case where you need it is if you want to use xdvi to view the .dvi files of the score instead of viewing the .ps or .pdf files.
However, I have noticed that setup.exe occasionally fails to install all packages correctly and you have to rerun setup.exe once more to have them installed. This might be what happened to you.
