And I click next and it claims to install. I haven't always looked at the version in the past but that kind of procedure has always installed that and things in the past.

What are your options for running the Cygwin Setup program and your answers
input to dialogue box entries?
Check /var/log/setup.log.full for ddrescue install or errors and if that shows
nothing check /var/log/setup.log, which is a summary of all Cygwin Setup program
runs ever completed under that Cygwin instance.
Did you run the Cygwin Setup program to install ddrescue using the same Cygwin
instance root directory as your usual working instance, is that Cygwin instance
root directory C:/Cygwin, and are you running interactively under that same
Cygwin instance?
How are you starting bash, is it Cygwin bash, and which terminal are you running
under?
Running:
$ ps
