I hope that you really executed the following:

$ ipc-daemon --install-as-service
$ cygrunsrv --install postmaster --path /usr/bin/postmaster --args "-D /usr/share/postgresql/data -i" --dep ipc-daemon --termsig INT --user postgres --shutdown
$ cygrunsrv -S ipc-daemon # actually this step is optional
$ cygrunsrv -S postmaster

Note the following:

$ fgrep 1062 /usr/include/w32api/winerror.h
#define ERROR_SERVICE_NOT_ACTIVE 1062L

which is not good. :.)
