I just did a new install of Cygwin and its emacs using the windows 64 intaller,
and when I ran emacs from the Cygwin command line I got these errors:

Emacs will not function correctly without the character map files.
Please check your installation!
After I did
$ mv /usr/share/emacs/24.4/ /usr/share/emacs/24.5/
then emacs worked ok. Seems like perhaps the path didn't get updated somewhere
from 24.4 to 24.5?
I think something must have gone wrong with your installation. The paths are
correct in the tarball, as you can see at
https://cygwin.com/packages/x86_64/emacs/emacs-24.5-1
I suggest you reinstall emacs.
