Not a good idea. In the old days, we used to copy cygwin's bash to
/bin/sh, but nowadays, they've much better processes to deal with this.

Yes, I think this is the best approach. You don't mention what version of
cygwin you're trying to use, but going to http://www.cygwin.com and
clicking "Install Cygwin now" is the best route to go, given you're
looking at an installation error/problem right now.
Good luck.
