as HP seems to have built this installer, have you asked them ?
General notes:
- the cygwin version seems based on 1.7.9 from 2011, so a bit old, plus
it is a 32bit version that of course has fork limitation compared to the
64 bit version, while the system is a 64bit one.
- never a good idea to have to have path with space witch cygwin
D:\Program Files (x86)\HP\HP BTO Software
I would try: call HP as they should solve the issue.
In alternative, but I wonder why an installation
require the gcc compiler and make.
1) install in a directory path without space
2) Update the cygwin package installed to a recent one
also possible replace the package with a 64bit version.
