You should check that xkeyboard-config and xkbcomp are installed correctly, that xkbcomp can be run, and that you don't have any software which is known to interfere with cygwin installed, as described at [1]. You might also check if the TEMP or TMP environment variables are set, and if so, contain the unix-style pathname of a directory which both exists and is writeable. If that doesn't help, perhaps could you try the snapshot [2], which is built with additional debug logging enabled.
