Oh, sorry, you're right.  `man install-info' says:
,----
| SYNOPSIS
|  install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]
|
| DESCRIPTION
|  Add  or  remove  entries in INFO-FILE from the Info directory DIR-FILE.
|  INFO-FILE  and  DIR-FILE  are  required  unless  the   --info-file   or
|  --dir-file (or --info-dir) options are given, respectively.
`----
So, I tried

$ install-info /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/GNU\ Emacs\ 24.5/share/info/{emacs-w3m.info,dir}

and

$ install-info --info-dir=/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/GNU\ Emacs\ 24.5/share/info /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/GNU\ Emacs\ 24.5/share/info/emacs-w3m.info

and confirmed both work.  Probably I made a mistake on copying
the command line I tried yesterday.  Sorry again.

Anyway, I'll add this issue to the TODO list:

Pass a Cygwin path name to `install-info' when installing info
files for Windows Emacs by using Cygwin.
