setup.exe creates the files with Windows default permissions. Usually those are determined by the inheritable permissions of the parent directory in which you install the Cygwin directory.
Setup is a plain Win32 application which doesn't know about POSIX perms.
OK, this is known. But... Is it supposed to be that way on Cygwin [1]? Or we can adopt some workaround? For example on Linux: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Jul 4 13:52 home and similar for /lib, /usr... While on Cygwin: drwxrwxrwx+ 3 Administrator Users 0 Jul 4 13:52 home It should be at least: drwxr-xr-x 3 Administrator Administrators 0 Jul 4 13:52 home or not?
