cygwin-service-installation-helper

But a short investigation would have revealed it:

$ cygcheck -f /usr/lib/csih/winProductName.exe
csih-0.1.8-1

$ cygcheck -l csih
/usr/lib/csih/getAccountName.exe
/usr/lib/csih/getVolInfo.exe
/usr/lib/csih/winProductName.exe
/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh
/usr/share/doc/csih-0.1.8/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/csih-0.1.8/ChangeLog
/usr/share/doc/csih-0.1.8/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/csih-0.1.8/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/csih-0.1.8.README

Oh, look: one of these files stands out:
/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh

myvar=`/usr/lib/csih/winProductName.exe | tr -d '\15'`

is probably the simplest.
