Thanks for the suggestion, but missing reboots are not the problem for
sure. As indicated I tried the base installs several times, always
alternating between 32bit and 64bit, always using a different mirror
and rebooted often (~10 times in the last day). Missing reboots also
should not cause the post install errors on the 32bit version IMHO.

Side note, if you wonder: XP 64 never got a service pack 3, only SP2.
And my system IS up to the last MS update.

Might be, I finally should update to W7 64, if XP 64 isn't supported
(any longer) by Cygwin.

Best regards, Georg
