Ok.  You installed the latest version from

    http://lilypond.org/gnu-windows

right?

It looks like some versioning bug.  LilyPond is built using
cygwin-1.3.6, but the latest version is already cygwin-1.3.9.
See:

    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01698.html

Could you try what happens if you install the crypt package from

    http://cygwin.com


Did you install packages from http://cygwin.com too, or did you before?

Strange, both python's that we distribute have python where it
belongs, in /usr/bin

   ../../setup.ini
   install: contrib/python/python-2.2-1.tar.bz2 3991217
   install: contrib/python/python-2.1.1-2.tar.bz2 3517480
   08:50:23 address@hidden:~/g/contrib/python$ tar tjf python-2.2-1.tar.bz2
   |grep python.exe
   usr/bin/python.exe
   08:50:35 address@hidden:~/g/contrib/python$ tar tjf
   python-2.1.1-2.tar.bz2 | grep python.exe
   usr/bin/python.exe

Could you check what versions are installed of cygwin and python?
