Don't use Cygwin paths for non-Cygwin programs. You shouldn't need to set any environment variables anyway, as Emacs will pick up the registry entries (assuming they are correct), or if the registry entries are not there, it will find the files it needs relative to where emacs.exe is located.

Actually, its probably this last bit that's failing, since you're using a Cygwin symlink to start Emacs, so emacs may be getting confused about the location of emacs.exe. So setting the environment variables may be needed, but use a Windows path, not a Cygwin one.
