I don't think that was a good strategy.  Cygwin does use some registry 
entries pointing to absolute paths, i.e. you cannot just move a cygwin 
installation around and expect it to still work, just like that.  That 
means your 32-bit Cygwin installation is now most likely quite broken, 
and I won't even speculate on the possible havoc running the orphaned 
32-bit tools will cause in the 64-bit install now occupying their place.

Just installing the 64-bit version to a new, aptly named folder 
cygwin64, would have been both simpler, and more likely to work.
