If some of the commands don't work, it means you didn't get the right Cygwin packages.

Is the swfotefuss11 file a tar/zip/compressed file? If so you'll need to extract it first.

You're not supposed to double click ls.exe ... you're supposed to type it from the Cygwin prompt. In fact you're supposed to do almost everything in Nick's guide from the Cygwin prompt. Could you be a little more precise about what you're doing and what is not working?

Cygwin prompt is the command prompt. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_prompt

Can you show me the link to swfotefuss11?

No, cmd.exe is the Windows prompt. You want to run the Cygwin one. It should be on your desktop, that's where mine was after it installed.

You mean this download?

You have to find the main Cygwin file to run. I don't know where it is, but you should have specified where to install.
