FWIW I can reproduce the issue. See below...

When I try to run inkscape, I don't get any errors and there were no
messages about missing programs or dependencies when I ran the
installer. I'm not trying to start a GUI. I have a script that I used
to batch convert svg images in a folder to png. When that script
wouldn't work (I've used it on other machines, including this one
years ago using 32-bit cygwin instead of 64-bit that I'm using now) I
started trying to invoke it from the command line, and that's when I
discovered it's not doing anything. If I start Cygwin64 WindowMaker
and type "inkscape" into the right-click run dialogue, I get a popup
window, ErrorCould not execute command: inkscape
OK, then start from the basics:
$ ldd $(which inkscape)
Look at the output. Is any dll shown as missing?
In the answer is no, then next check your anti-virus. Is it blocking the program?
Is it injecting a dll?
Another set of tests would be, is the program installed correctly? i.e. is it
executable? Is not corrupt? A bit more difficult: is it loading libraries into
valid space (non colliding, in available memory).
I installed inkscape and tried running the .exe. It returns to shell prompt but
its exit code is 127, indicating a problem starting the process up. ldd doesn't
show anything amiss; as an aside that's an unusually long list of DLLs.
I ran 'strace -o inkscape.out inkscape -V' and looked at the traced output.
It ends with:
--- Process 11940 (pid: 11940), exception c0000139 at 00007ffaecf324f6
--- Process 11940 (pid: 11940) thread 1172 exited with status 0xc0000139
--- Process 11940 (pid: 11940) thread 1888 exited with status 0xc0000139

--- Process 11940 (pid: 11940) exited with status 0xc0000139
I grep'd /usr/include/w32api/ntstatus.h for that status and got:
#define STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND ((NTSTATUS)0xC0000139)
I then tried running inkscape.exe from a Command Prompt window and got a popup:
"The procedure entry point g_cclosure_marshal_VOID__BOOLEAN could not be located
in the dynamic link library C:\cygwin64\bin\inkscape.exe."
Why this happens, I leave to somebody experienced with building inkscape itself.
HTH,
