Things are rather simple, either :

1. You use WinTeXmacs, which is more lightweight, but is
 currently unmaintained. As a consequence, some features
 are broken, and currently, nobody will fix them (it will
 probably change in the future, but not now, we need
 to finish simplifying the codebase to be able to resume
 working on WinteXmacs) ;

2. You use CygTeXmacs, which is the version of TeXmacs
 that works on top of CygWin (CygWin is the flavor of UNIX
 which is implemented on top of Windows). This CygTeXmacs
 version of TeXmacs is compiled from the same code as the
 standard UNIX TeXmacs, therefore it is always up to date,
 but if you want to use it, you need CygWin. I guess the
 archive :
 <<

 is self-contained, and that it installs a (stripped) version
 of CygWin in the same time. Otherwise, you should install
 CygWin first, but I don't think its necessary.
