Well, after all the hints you've already got, how about you actually
look at what setup.exe does when you give it some options to work with?
ONce you've figured that out you can decide whether you'll want to
provide your own repo for setup to install Cygwin and your software from
or if you instruct setup to use two repos.  Once it's working to your
liking, package up the resulting command line in a batch script and tell
your users to download both that script and setup.exe (or give them an
archive with both or figure out a PowerShell incantation to do the
downloads).
