cygwin?

Does it actually have an install program to it, or is it a bunch of .exe
files you just unzip? I have a double talk pc with a demo of vocal-eyes,

will the executable .exe files I compile with cygwin run without bash
going, sounds cool if I had cron capability in Windows until I get linux
going again.
