I dunno, isn't the icon just a shortcut to some .exe, or is it something else? Thanks for your help, but I really didn't know what to do with that big thing that you copied for me.
There should be a cygwin.bat in the directory you choose to install to;
just run that.
Alternatively, open a command prompt:
cd \cygwin\bin # or whatever your location is
bash -li
To run any postinstall scripts that did not complete, do the following
from the bash prompt:
cd /etc/postinstall
for F in *.sh; do . $F && mv $F $F.done; done
