Copy ssh keys to C:\cygwin64\home\[username]\.ssh

at first use this may come up "Permissions 0755 for '/home/bill/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open."

Fix it with:

cd /home/[username]bill/.ssh
chgrp Users id_rsa
chmod 600 id_rsa

Section DirectX SDK

1) It should be mentioned that .NET Framework 3.5 (includes NET 2.0 and 3.0) is required and must be installed first if prompted.

2) In case of Error S1023 remove Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package, retry to install and run Windows Update to reapply security patches. (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chuckw/archive/2011/12/09/known-issue-directx-sdk-june-2010-setup-and-the-s1023-error.aspx)

After Python install but before the intermediate check a new login is required, otherwise Python will not be found in the path in Cygwin.
