You can download prebuild (Cygwin 圆4) version on from GitHub. CygwinPortable will run without ShellExtensions, but they are pretty comfortable :-) Download ready to use files ShellExtensions needs admin rights (Only one time to register the ShellExtension - After successful registration you can run CygwinPortable with UAC enabled). "Open with -> CygwinPortable.exe" is also supported (you can register e.g.sh extensions with CygwinPortable.exe). It can create ShellExtensions in Windows Explorer ("Open Folder in Cygwin", "Open Drive in Cygwin", "Run in Cygwin").
