network installation problems (again)

[Thomas Wolff <towo at towo dot net>]

Hi,
I am again having problems to install cygwin on a network drive. It's in 
the same network I had similar problems before:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2009-11/msg00034.html
which were then resolved after a while.
The client machines are now new, running Windows 7. Domain server is the 
old one.
My description log of actions and popup errors is attached below. There 
was no way to install on the network. I could install to the C: drive 
and move that over to the network where it would then run.

Kind regards,
Thomas

Error writing file

Unable to extract /etc/postinstall/0p_000_autorebase.dash

The file is in use or some other error occurred.

Please stop all Cygwin processes and select "Retry", or select "Continue" to go on anyway (the file will be updated after a reboot).

Clicking Continue, it hangs flickering at:

If I select an existing directory as Local Package Directory:
---------------------------
Fehler
---------------------------
Directory H:\tmp does not exist, would you like me to create it?
---------------------------
Ja   Nein
---------------------------

Clicking Yes:
---------------------------
Cygwin Setup
---------------------------
Couldn't create directory H:\tmp, sorry.  (Is drive full or read-only?)
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


Attempting a fresh install behaves similarly,
and doesn't even create the root directory.


Sometimes:
---------------------------
Cygwin Setup
---------------------------
Cannot open log file L:\TGI\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing
---------------------------
OK
