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

Fix it with:

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)

Section Intermediate check

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