I have installed cygwin in my windows machine and I have also selected some additional packages as part of my installation (like gcc etc). Now I want to add vim also to my existing cygwin set up. What is the procedure to add VIM to my existing cygwin set up ? Or is there some seperate binay for VIM in cygwin which I can untar and install. What is the best option in my current scenario?

You need to run Cygwin's setup.exe again, and select the packages you want. Vim is not included in the default package. I've blogged about this, with explicit instructions and a picture: http://wilsonericn.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/cygwin-setup-gotchas/ | |||

Run the Cygwin setup.exe and pick additional packages (search for vim), that executable is used to add packages and update existing ones; you should run it once a month to update to latest packages. | |||
