I tried that. But cygcheck doesn't work either, for the same reason.

'cygcheck' is a Win32 app which doesn't rely on 'cygwin1.dll' or any of Cygwin's added features. If it won't work, then something in your system is inhibiting it. Perhaps you have <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA>?

One more thing, I notice that the re-install is hung up on /etc/postinstall/00ash.sh (and before that, it spent a long time on 00bash.sh, unless I misread it).

That gain suggests BLODA. And 00ash.sh should come before 00bash.sh.
