Here a detailed list what I've done:

- I installed the cygwin standard distribution,
- uninstalled the cwrsync
- then created the needed mount points:
Mkdir /mnt
Mkdir /mnt/Sharename
- added them into registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2]

- installed rsync, cygrunsrv
- installed cygwin as service
- created rsync-config-file in /etc
- created shell script (/usr/bin/rsyncd.sh) for starting rsync as daemon
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/rsync --daemon --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf

- created a Windows Service for rsyncd.sh
cygrunsrv -I rsync-daemon -p /usr/bin/rsyncd.sh -e "CYGWIN=server"

- started Windows service
- done
