I need an offline installer with most of the utilities commonly needed. Somehow the default installer confuses me with all its package selection. I installed Cygwin but I can't find the diff utility after the installation.

Choose a download site. "http://mirrors.kernel.org" is a good choice. "http://cygwin.mirrors.hoobly.com" is another good one, in Pennsyvania.
You can install it from the Cygwin setup.exe install program. When you get to the "Select Packages" screen, expand the "Devel" section, find the make package, and select the version you want by clicking the weird circle/arrow thing on that line until your desired version is shown.
Install Cygwin (without admin rights) Download setup-x86_64.exe. Open command line window (WIN+R and type cmd ). During installation select the wget package. After installation open a Cygwin Terminal via Windows desktop shortcut.
Here are instructions assuming you want to install Cygwin on a computer with no Internet connection. I assume that you have access to another computer with an Internet connection. Start on the connected computer:
Get the Cygwin install program ("setup.exe"). Direct download URL: x86 or x86_64.
When the setup asks "Choose a download source", choose Download Without Installing
Go through the rest of the setup (choose download directory, mirrors, software packages you want, etc)
Now you have a Cygwin repository right there on your hard disk. Copy this directory, along with the "setup.exe" program, over to your target computer (it does not need to be on a network).
On the target computer, run "setup.exe"
When the setup asks "Choose a download source", choose Install From Local Directory
Complete setup as usual. No Internet access is required.
