Because the first attempt failed, I'd do this:

That's weird: 'cygcheck /bin/bash' should confirm that bash.exe does not
depend on the msvc runtime. Yet there have been a few similar reports:

Based on them, I'd suggest that you
- remove cygwin completely as above, but in step four also remove the
download directory;
- set a minimal %PATH% before starting setup.exe to reinstall;
- run cygcheck -s -v -r as suggested here:

being especially wary of multiple cygwin dlls...and post the output
here as an attachment if there are any further problems

One of the messages found by googling as above suggests Dependency Walker.
