Surrender, Dorothy!  :-)

I've tried this periodically over the years.  It's a moving target,
and as soon as one batch of problems is fixed, another pops up.
See https://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=cygwin
(many of the older ones are fixed, so pay more attention to recent ones).

But heck, maybe you're using old wine, and new wine works better,
so I installed the latest dev version on Ubuntu 17.04 by following
https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2017-March/117104.html
i.e.
$ wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key
$ sudo apt-key add Release.key
$ sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install winehq-devel
$ PATH=/opt/wine-devel/bin:$PATH

I then got a fresh .wine directory:
$ cd $HOME
$ mv -f .wine .wine.beforecygwin

And for grins, checked versions by doing
$ wine --version
$ winecfg
and verifying that wine reported "wine-2.11" (nice and fresh)
and observing that winecfg's gui said wine is emulating win7.
I then quite winecfg and did

$ wget https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
$ wine setup-x86_64.exe

That reported "setup.exe version 2.880 (64 bit)".

The first glitch was that the prompt for Local Package Directory
defaulted to my home directory (Z:\home\dank)!  I changed
that to c:\cygpkgs64 like I usually do and continued.

There were lots of complaints from setup.exe (not wine) of the sort
AddAccessAllowedAceEx(C:\cygwin64/etc/setup, group) failed: 1337
but those can probably be ignored.

Default install seemed to go quite well, at least until the
postinstall scripts ran;
each one of them complained about a stack overflow, but the gui continued:

I even got an Ubuntu crash dialog for that once.  Anyway, setup
finished, so I tried getting a cygwin session:

Well, shoot.  So I tried again with WINEDEBUG=+relay to get a log of
system calls,
Wading through the noise, I saw two interesting things:

Gee, I hope Wine's pipes are up to snuff.

Well, that's funny.  RtlGetCurrentDirectory_U is implemented in Wine;
I wonder why Cygwin doesn't like it.  That seems worth investigating.

Gotta go (I have to get some new tires on the car before we head off
on vacation),
but at least that gives you a peek at the state of things.
Maybe somebody else can get further.
