Ok.

Delete all registry-entries referring to cygnus solutions
("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions" and
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions")
they are inconsistent. Looks like you once installed Cygwin
(may be as administrator) in one place (C:/cygwin) and once
in "u:\tmp1\cygwin\" without first removing the other one
(from registry).
Then install again.
Other approach: correct the registry settings by hand - if you know
what you are doing.
