Yes, they are installed.
which xwin xinit/usr/bin/xwin/usr/bin/xinit

When I try to run inkscape, I don't get any errors and there were no messages about missing programs or dependencies when I ran the installer.
I'm not trying to start a GUI. I have a script that I used to batch convert svg images in a folder to png. When that script wouldn't work (I've used it on other machines, including this one years ago using 32-bit cygwin instead of 64-bit that I'm using now) I started trying to invoke it from the command line, and that's when I discovered it's not doing anything.
If I start Cygwin64 WindowMaker and type "inkscape" into the right-click run dialogue, I get a popup window, ErrorCould not execute command: inkscape


Thanks!

To check that Cygwin/X server is installed:
    $ which xinit xwin    /usr/bin/xinit    /usr/bin/xwin
if not then install xinit and that pulls in all the other machinery.
Or you can display on a remote host X server using e.g.
    $ DISPLAY=<REMOTE-HOST>:0 inkscape ... &
