Just try reinstalling the packages you find missing one by one via 
'setup.exe'.  They'll either show up as installed (erroneously apparently
for you) in which case you toggle "Keep" to "Reinstall" or it will show
up as uninstalled, in which case you can just install it.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, please read and follow the problem
reporting guidelines described here: <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
