On Linux distributions and Cygwin you have to carefully distinguish between package names and file names. I don't know where you are looking for the xelatex file name and l3kernel package name, but there are something like 20 hits for xelatex and almost 10 hits for l3kernel when you use the Cygwin regex-based find web gui at <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi>. Furthermore, the portion of your error message I quoted above mentioned "xelatex failed" which means you do have xelatex installed. So the only relevant message above appears to be "Package xparse Error: Support package l3kernel too old" which apparrently indicates eith a temporary packaging issue or perhaps a more permanent packaging error (no dependency on the Support package l3kernel so it doesn't get updated at the right time compared to xelatex). So I would simply do a reinstall to see if that fixes it. @BOTH: please mention (again and often) what Cygwin versions you are using (e.g., 32-bit reinstalled on 2014-11-05). Cygwin has a rolling distribution so the installation date matters a lot. And, of course, 32-bit versus 64-bit matters a lot as well. So the result could be that Phil sails through and gets a near perfect result because he lucked out on what date he reinstalled (or installed from scratch). I was in a similar situation with Wine as I followed its development last year with something like 20 different commit id's spread over 6 months of development. I therefore learned to save the complete Wine build and installation on any date so that my Wine results were always reproducible, and I suggest both of you do the same with Cygwin.
