Hello Ruud, list, I've discussed XP installation problems with Ruud off-list, and wanted to share my findings.
This is what I did: - I installed a clean version of Windows XP. - I ran the latest setup.exe from http://www.cygwin.com - Selected a 'random' server close to me (easynet.be, IIRC) - I opened the Publishing package, and I clicked Lilypond (it showed 'skip' to start with). The first version shown was 2.4.2-1. ANother click showed version 2.2. (something). Apparently, some packaging bugs have been fixed. Also, other packages in the list were selected (I didn't pay attention to which ones, I 'just' needed to check a correct installation behaviour). Then, Setup downloaded a few updates packages from the Net (most of the packages were already up-to-date in my installation folder), and started installing Cygwin. Lilypond was correctly installed as well. When running Lilypond, it complained about 2 fonts not being available, but that was about it. It did give me the output I expected. So, unfortunately, I can't be of much assistence in the Windows XP corner, since no problems can be reproduced. Does re-downloading the latest Setup.exe, and re-running it (and checking Lilypond's version while you do that) help?
