Thanks John. I managed to fix my issue by replacing the paths in the wiki's 'windows_tools.properties' file.
As for your fix, I did delete the build folder and had the VS150COMNTOOLS variable defined, but didn't know about '/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32' (I have '%SystemRoot%\system32' which is exported to Cygwin correctly). The properties file was still wrong and caused errors. I also run gradle builds from Eclipse, so Cygwin isn't always used.
