That should be trying to remove "xastir.exe", not "xastir".

If you manually remove /usr/local/bin/xastir.exe, then the script
should be happy.

Again, it is xastir.exe on Cygwin.

You can always re-run "setup.exe" from Cygwin and update it.  They
change it _often_.

I'll give you my standard comment, even though you mentioned in
another message that you need to run Windows right now:  Run Linux
or Unix of some type instead.  Targets that Xastir supports are
MacOSX, Solaris, FreeBSD, or Linux.  Any of those will work much
more cleanly and faster than Xastir/Cygwin.

Cygwin does work though.  Hang in there.
