A solution to your whole cygwin install party, might be: take one unix machine, make accounts, and let the windows users use an x server like xwin32.
You can make a nice x-login with xdmcp, or just give them putty also, so they can ssh, and set the DISPLAY to the remote ip_addess:0 in their profiles. I did that with some other applications about 2 years ago, the users got used to the Linux applications so much, that half of the company is now using Linux. Good luck.
