That's hard to guess, from here.  kpsexpand cannot be executed, which
probablye means that

  * it did not get installed (rerun setup.exe, install tetex-bin), or
  * it is not in your path (your profile is wrong, or automatic
    profile creation went wrong), or
  * the binary cannot be run (missing libraries, rebase? see cygwin archives)

So, rerun setup.exe, make sure that tetex-bin is installed.  Try to
figure out why kpsexand it doesn't run or send a bug report to
bug-lilypond, including the output of `bug-lilypond-cygwin'.
