Cygwin not installing properly

I've downloaded Cygwin here( setup-x86_64.exe). I have chosen to install from local directory. Root directory: C:\cygwin64 . Local package directory: C:\Users\hp\Downloads. And there's no packages to install. How do I fix this? mintty.exe does not exist on my bin folder.

When you choose “Install from Local Directory”, Cygwin will try to pull packages from your cache. In my case, my cache is:

C:\ProgramData

My mirror is:

http://cygwin.mirror.constant.com/

and my packages can be found:

C:\ProgramData\http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f\x86_64\release
C:\ProgramData\http%3a%2f%2fcygwin.mirror.constant.com%2f\noarch\release

Unless you have stuff there, you will be unable to install anything. Better option is to choose “Install from Internet”. This will download packages if needed.
