make a simple windows bat file and run it from cmd.exe

example.bat
------------------------
cd c:\cygwin\bin
bash -l -e "your_bash_script"
cd c:\your_setup_dir\cygwin
setup "all your options"
--------------------------

in this way setup will run after bash completes=20
the script.
And you can also shutdown the cygwin services
adding at the end of the bash script something like

-----------------------------
for k in `cygrunsrv -L`
  do
      cygrunsrv -E $k
  done
-----------------------------
