Hi neroyoung,
I'm just wondering why you have re-packaged an old version of my kitchen, rather than linking straight from the GitHub repository itself. You should also provide a link to the kitchen FAQ, which has the answers to the issues that users like above are most definitely going to ask about (NOTE: he doesn't need to re-install Cygwin to fix his issue).
Please use these links, and straight from the source, not older buggy versions that have been modified/WinZip'ed by someone else:

DooMLoRD for providing root files
Please kindly remind me if i have forgotten to write your name in thanks section, i have collected all things from many many sources and with modification.102Getting System Folder
Universal method for obtaining system folder (Root needed)This tutorial guides you how to extract system folder from .ftf packages and get system folder for your custom ROM easily.
For this we have used ftf extractor.
Though you can flash your device,install stock ROM root it and then copy all system file to SD Card and get the system folder.This is universal method and can be done easily using terminal emulator.
For this simply download Terminal Emulator from Android Market.
Install it on your freshly flashed device as stated above.
Open it and type:
su
This will give root permission to your terminal emulator.
Then type:
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
This will copy all your /system folder to your SDcard with name System.tar
This will take some time to finish so be patient.
After it's done you should have a tar file in your /sdcard named system.tar
You can extract it using Winrar or 7zip software. But yes this will have huge size, as it has other useless folders so you will have to delete them. After extracting this system.tar file you will get following folders (Similar one)
Now simply delete the folders marked in red color and its done.Don't worryCode:/app /bin /etc /fonts /framework /lib [COLOR="Red"]/lost-found[/COLOR] /media [COLOR="Red"]/sd[/COLOR] /semc /usr /xbin build.prop [COLOR="Red"]And some other files and folders like ""autorooted,kernel files" etc[/COLOR] if you don't have folders with red colors above,we don't need them.
And the final files that we will have in our system folders will be
Now thats all...Code:/app /bin /etc /fonts /framework /lib /media /semc /usr /xbin build.prop
Use this pre rooted ROM as your base now and have fun in tweaking and customizing .... Hope this is simplest method that you could ever find...
