These Windows install files are provided to support legacy users who still use the Cygwin-based builds. Before nginx.org started providing native Windows packages, these were the only way to run Nginx on Windows. Now, official native Windows builds are available and supported at nginx.org. Please use those if you are new to Nginx on Windows. Once again, they are fully supported and available for download at nginx.org.
