I can't seem to reproduce your symptoms.  Is it possible that you have
another zsh exe somewhere else in your Windows PATH?  If you un-install
zsh, can you then still run 'zsh' ?  For that matter, once you
un-install, did you verify all exe's were removed?  There was one case
where someone did an install from one account and when they tried
upgrading from another account couldn't do it because of file
ownership/permissions issues.

I'd recommend running uninstall first, then delete whatever's left over
(and making sure the files were really removed) and then installing.
Beyond that, I can't think of any reason why an older version would so
stubornly stick around, unless you have two cygwin homes and they are
both in your Windows PATH.
