I tried this installation to a network drive on one machine again

Corinna had assumed, but with more detailed test results:
The machine runs Windows XP Professional, drvies H: and T: are
normal Windows mounts or NFTS network drives.
I started setup-1.7.exe from a command line after explicitly
clearing PATH completely.
1. attempt, root dir T:\cygwin17, package dir H:\cygwin17:

which - by the way - suggests the recent fix about mkdir was not
complete - at least the package directory still had to be created
manually.
I can't reproduce this. I tried with shares on Samba, with shares on a
remote NTFS on a machine in the same AD domain, and with shares on a
remote machine which is not member of the domain. In all three cases I
could install Cygwin from scratch just fine, using the latest
setup-1.7.exe.
Are you sure the share permissions are sufficient? In contrast to the
1.5 setup, the 1.7 setup tries to create files and directories with
explicit ACLs.
