What versions of gs and gsview did you install; there are two pairs
available from lilypond's setup.exe: gs-5.50 + gsview-2.6 and gs-6.50
+ gsview-3.6.

This seems to be a registry setting / config problem; but I thought it
was easily fixed by pointing gsview to the right directory of gs, ie
one of

c:/cygwin/usr/windows/gstools/gs5.50/
c:/cygwin/usr/windows/gs/gs6.50/bin/

It would be very good to have this fixed ootb; I used to try setting
the registry, but I think Han-Wen reported it didn't work...
