Setup run fine, problem is not solved.

Observation: Cygwin errors appears more often than Msys2 errors.
Even got initial loading on incorrect address:

child_info_fork::abort: T:\cygwin64\bin\cygman-2-7-5.dll: Loaded to

Not sure that situation is just "test" or "temporary". I'm using
prerelease track so this can go to release.
