Ok, I see the problem: launching 64 bit sh.exe from 32 bit programs (PE32) 
doesn't work anymore.  Since the setup.exe installer is a PE32 program, 
installing gforth64 won't work.  The error messages look like this:

fork: can't reserve memory for parent stack 0x600000 – 0x800000, (child has 
0x400000 – 0x600000), Win32 error 487

Since this affects the older gforth64 installers, too, it's probably not a 
new Cygwin64 bug, but a new Windows bug.  Tested with Windows 10 1511.

From a quick look it seems that installing a 32 bit sh.exe in {app}\..\bin 
fixes the problem; this 32 bit sh.exe needs its own set of cygwin dlls 
(fortunately they can stay in {app}\..\bin, and won't conflict with Gforth's 
directory), and it can launch 64 bit Gforth during install successfully.
