installation help!

[Jarva Chow]

I went through the whole download process, following the user's guide 
(downloaded from setup.exe, downloaded all the required binaries) up to 
the point where it wanted us to run cygwin (chapter 2), and it doesn't 
work... cygwin just opens a window for half a second and then closes on 
me.  Help, what'd I do wrong?  and how can I fix this?  thanks!
