[postgis-users] Installing PostGIS

[chodgson at refractions.net]

Are you running cygwin using the .bat file (cygwin.bat?) or just by clicking on 
the .exe? The batch file usually sets up your $PATH environment variable to let 
you run the appropriate commands... if you can't figure out how to get your 
environment set up, then you should be able to run the commands by using their 
full path-name ie. C:\cygwin\bin\bunzip2
