Great. This means that rsync works OK (otherwise you would be getting
the same error report as last time: "The application failed to
initialize properly"). What makes mo wonder now is: why doesn't the
installer work? Perhaps the environmental variables aren't set up
properly?

You may try one more thing: can you try to set
    CYGWIN=nontsec
globally (I have no windows here to tell you the exact procedure - if
you don't know how to do that, please ask again; it's somewhere in
System->Advanced->Environmental variables->...).

and then rum the installer again? But it really makes mo wonder where
it goes wrong.

I had a winows machine yesterday, but apparently the network had rsync
port closed, so rsync didn't work at all (and installer reported:
"installed successfully").

That report is not a problem (only wrong usage, or missing argument),
but texlua could have been more informative about that error, yes.
Last time when you reported the error texlua apparently didn't work at
all.

Well - the whole distribution is dowloaded (I guess), which is a good thing :)

This is not a problem.

Neither this. The directories don't exist, but that's no harm (perhaps
mktexlsr could ignore those warnings just as it does on unix).

mktexlsr aparently works so far.

OK, that's the only real problem so far. Apparently texmf.cnf is
missing, or at leat it isn't found.

This is where I get lost. What's wrong with the files? Where are they?
(Do they exist?) A problem with cygwin paths perhaps?
One thing that I could imagine is that md5 checksums might vary
depending on whether one uses "cygwin" or normal paths, but there's no
way for me to test that at the moment. Or perhaps some variables are
set up the wrong way (stored with cygwin path, which is not seen by
other applications).

Do you have cygwin installed as well (only out of curiosity - in case
it interferes with rsync's dll library)?

Of course it is. You can use MikTeX to compile your documents now :)
(But LuaTeX won't work if you wonder about that.)

The standalone has some advantages, but if you're only looking for
something easy-to-use, MikTeX is extremely user-friendly. The minimals
might not be propely debugged yet (as you might have noticed).

But people like you can be very helpful to help with debugging, so i
hope that you will have enough patience to help us getting rid of the
problems you have spotted. Some of them only appear under certain
conditions. Getting rid of them should be a priority.

POOLSIZE has nothing to do with the problem you experience. The
problem is that the file where this should be set (texmy.cnf) cannot
be found, and possibly that some tools give you some wrong problem
reports (it's difficult to test programs in so weird conditions).
