All postinstall steps failed because of BLODA or installation path:

2021/02/09 17:48:06 running: C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin\dash.exe 
"/etc/postinstall/0p_000_autorebase.dash"
       0 [main] dash (2296) shared_info::initialize: size of shared memory 
region changed from 49080 to 40888
2021/02/09 17:48:20 abnormal exit: exit code=-1073741819
...

Installing under Program\ Files causes issues because of space in path names and 
BLODA-like AV protections on those paths.
