Network installation still fails, Windows 7 only


I had recently reported that an old network installation problem, that had been resolved meanwhile, reappeared:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2015-12/msg00012.html

As an additional observation, on the same machine, there is also a virtual machine running Windows XP. From that, I can use setup.exe and seamlessly update cygwin which is then also available in the Windows 7 host environment. Running setup.exe from Windows 7 directly still fails with the described symptoms.

There must be something weird about interpretation of access rights using the Windows 7 API. As an idea, perhaps someone familiar with setup.exe could check whether at any place access is rejected due to interpretation of access rights without actually trying the access?
