If all you want to do is update a Cygwin installation on XP, the instructions at

  http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/timemachine.html#cygwintimemachine

boil down to this:

1. Use the following version of setup*.exe:

32-bit: ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/setup/snapshots/setup-x86-2.874.exe
64-bit: ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/setup/snapshots/setup-x86_64-2.874.exe

2. Run setup*.exe with the -X option, using the following mirror:

32-bit: ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2016/08/30/104223
64-bit: ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/64bit/2016/08/30/104235
