Dear Wouter,

when things get bizarre on Windows, I tend to use Sysinternals/Microsoft 
ProcMon. It is free and can be downloaded here:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processmonitor.aspx

ProcMon shows you all Windows system calls with parameters and error results. 
You should see the CreatProcess call and possibly can see why it fails. Since 
Cygwin in the end creates a windows process with windows system calls, it 
should also help for Cygwin. In case your process does start and fails during 
initialization, you can also see the Windows system calls it does. If there are 
DLLs missing, you can also see that.

Best regards,

Michael
