Hi! I just downloaded https://www.cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe version 2.925
After starting, I: - selected "Install from Internet" (actually it was already selected) - left defaults: root dir=C:\cygwin64 , Install For: all users - the Local Package Directory was: C:\Users\AdminGuy\Downloads\ I added cygwin_download_temp to it to get: C:\Users\AdminGuy\Downloads\cygwin_download_temp After clicking I got an error dialog: --------------------------- Cygwin Setup --------------------------- Directory C:\Users\AdminGuy\Downloads\cygwin_download_temp does not exist, would you like me to create it? --------------------------- Yes No --------------------------- I clicked Yes and got an error that it could not create the directory. So I created the folder in Explorer and then continued. Notes: I tried to reproduce it in a second instance of setup-x86_64.exe but could not, it created the folder without a problem. So I closed (clicked the Cancel button) both instances and run it again, and I could reproduce the problem. After changing the local path, I pressed the enter key instead of clicking next. The in the error dialog asking to create the folder, I pressed space. Then I got the dialog: --------------------------- Cygwin Setup --------------------------- Couldn't create directory , sorry. (Is drive full or read-only?) --------------------------- OK --------------------------- Very strange, sometimes clicking Yes in the "would you like me to create it" dialog just brings up the same dialog again and again, until a few iterations is shows the "Couldn't create directory , sorry." dialog. Can be workarounded, but a bit annoying. OS: Windows Server 2019 version 1809 When I start setup-x86_64.exe the UAC dialog pops up where I click Yes.
