Many of us with 64 bit machines and OSes have been running Cygwin 64 bit since the Cygwin packages we needed became available on Cygwin 64 bit. Nowadays, you should install the Cygwin arch matching your OS, and Cygwin 64 bit is recommended if you need to install a lot of packages with DLLs, e.g. X Window System, especially if you want to run full Gnome or KDE desktops, with many apps and many dependencies on library packages. > Indeed 32 bits installer sometimes works. Cygwin 32 bit and setup-x86 will not work on Windows 64 bit server (2008R2 and newer) that no longer have 32 bit WoW subsystem support. You may be unable to set up to run a lot of apps with many dependencies on libraries in the available address space. -- Take care.
