CV> That's basically correct.

That's basically NOT correct. It setting permissions on ARCHIVES, that are NOT
CYGWIN INSTALLATION? Can it just write files, please? I have sane enough
permissions on my DISTRIB folder to handle access to archives. Already.

CV> Setup sets the file permissions to POSIX permissions.

For said reason. My local SID does not exist on remote machine, where archives
stored.

CV> Output of the Windows cacls command would have been more informative.

>> How it is supposed to work, anyway? I don't have Windows domain at home...

CV> Usually you don't have to.  Your user account is known to your

Account, by name and password hash, yes. But local SID on my workstation and
SID for same named account on server is different.

CV> Maybe, what setup should do is either to leave permissions alone when

Leaving them alone. No two choices.
Setting to "Owner group" won't do anything - my local SID is not known on
server and not belong to any group.
