+The Cygwin binary distributed with the netinstaller uses an external DLL

+    This application has failed to start because cygXpm-noX4.dll was not found.

+Andy Piper <andy@@xemacs.org> sez:
+
+    cygXpm-noX4 is part of the cygwin distribution under libraries or

+    cygwin setup again and select this package.

+Ie, reinstalling XEmacs won't help because it is not part of the XEmacs
