Unless you are wanting to install a supplemental
Cygwin package that requires cygwin1.dll and a
UNIX-like environment, you'd probably be better off
using an actual installer product. If you're looking
for a Free, Open-Source installer, try NSIS
http://nullsoft.com/free/nsis/
which is used by WinAMP, K-meleon, and lots of other
projects in replacement of InstallShield.
