I saw here that GoAccess can be installed on Windows. I would like to use it with ISS 8.5 log files but I cannot find any tutorial about how this can be used in Windows through Cygwin.

Any help?

You need to install Cygwin. There are a lot of tutorials out there on how to do that.

Then you will need to install in cygwin at least the following packages:

wget
libGeoIP-devel
libncurses-devel
libncursesw10
gcc-core
make
automake
gettext

Then compile GoAccess as indicated in the download page.

$ wget http://tar.goaccess.io/goaccess-1.1.1.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf goaccess-1.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd goaccess-1.1.1/
$ ./configure --enable-geoip --enable-utf8
$ make
# make install

Just wanted to add my 2 cents, that Windows now ships with an Ubuntu subsystem: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

Cygwin is not needed in 2018

    Sadly this is not true for Windows 10 production systems versions as Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSM (the one i use). This one will get this kind of updates next year :-( – Askariwa Jul 14 '18 at 08:43
