Hello again,
The problem at hand is basically that when I try to start the service, it freezes and logs this error: cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: QueryServiceStatus: Win32 error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. I figured that this must be due to a security issue regarding the hardening of this particular server which is located in a DMZ. Because it is placed in a DMZ all possible high-risk DLLs are physically moved to a different location from where they must be executed. I have searched all over for other people having the same problem, but it doesn't seem that anyone has encountered this before.

The path is the path. It doesn't matter how you add it there, as long as the DLLs are in the path when you run the program you're trying to run. You can add it using the windows dialog in the control panel or you can modify it in cygwin.bat before starting a Cygwin session, or any other way. But I have to wonder... I don't think it would be possible for windows to work *without* the %windir%\system32 directory in the path. I sure haven't ever seen such a system that didn't have that in the path already. There are numerous DLLs there that every windows program requires, and there is nothing special about Cygwin in this regard. If notepad runs then cygwin should run too -- as far as the system DLLs are concerned.
