Your cygcheck.out shows

     Cygwin DLL version info:
         DLL version: 1.7.15

but also

cygwin                                1.7.16-1                   OK

This probably means that the cygwin DLL was in use when you ran 
setup.exe, so it couldn't be replaced.  Did you get a message from 
setup.exe telling you this and saying that you would have to reboot?  In 
any case, rebooting should solve the problem.  If it doesn't, try 
reinstalling the cygwin package, and make sure that all cygwin processes 
(including services) are stopped before you run setup.exe.
