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.  I assumed that this could make problems, but in my case
it just doesn't make any.  When I created the shares, I just made sure
that the share permissions were sufficient.
