How do I go around this so I can download Dronekit-SITL?

Don't use cygwin - it isn't supported or needed. SITL allows you to download native binaries and runs on the Windows command line.

hamishwillee can you tell me how can i run SITL on the Windows command line without cygwin?? i got a lot of trouble with this... once I run SITL on the command line, it says 'sim_vehicle.py' is not available. It would be pleasure if you tell me how to resolve this or how to install SITL without cygwin. It was only way introduced on Ardupilot Webpage

@ji5u1031 I would actually install DK-SITL from Github master (the second option shown here: https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-sitl#installing ). DK-SITL does not need cygwin.

Instructions for using SITL can be found here: http://python.dronekit.io/guide/quick_start.html (don't install from PIP).
