When I run:

C:\Windows\system32>C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
"/etc/postinstall/000-cygwin-post-install.sh

I get this back:

       0 [main] bash 1956! child_info::sync: wait failed, pid 0, Win32
error 6

Even if I just run:

C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe

I get a popup saying "C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe is not a valid Win32
application"

Any ideas?
Either http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#BLODA or a bad installation of bash.
Try reinstalling first, then check for apps which could be interfering
with Cygwin.
I've tried reinstalling and no difference.

I've just run cygcheck and am attaching the result.

As Chris mentioned, you want to look for possible BLODA candidates.
As part of that search, you can try enabling detect_bloda in your
CYGWIN environment variable (see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html#cygwinenv-implemented-options).

You might also try trimming everything from your path but the Windows
directories and see if that helps.  If so, you can use a search of
what's in your path to lead you to the BLODA.
