There should be a cygwin.bat in the directory you choose to install to;
just run that.

Alternatively, open a command prompt:

cd \cygwin\bin  # or whatever your location is
bash -li

To run any postinstall scripts that did not complete, do the following
from the bash prompt:

cd /etc/postinstall
for F in *.sh; do . $F && mv $F $F.done; done
