Thanks Max. I erased Cygwin and re-installed. Results are detailed below.

I am installing for all users, logged in as myself 'GBMilneJ'.
I am a member of XP's Administrators group.
(I've installed several other programs, with no problems).

From Bash :-
bash-2.05b$ pwd
/usr/bin
bash-2.05b$ getfacl /
# file: /
# owner: GBMilneJ
# group: mkpasswd
user::---
group::---
mask:rwx
other:---
bash-2.05b$

From XP's cmd.exe :-
C:\>cd C:\

C:\>cacls C:\cygwin
C:\cygwin BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F
          NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F
          BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(special access:)
                            SYNCHRONIZE
                            FILE_WRITE_DATA

          BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(special access:)
                            SYNCHRONIZE
                            FILE_APPEND_DATA

          BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)R

Please post the output of "getfacl /" and "cacls C:\cygwin" - preferably
before you modify the permissions in any way.

If you have modified the permissions, then it would great if you could erase
C:\cygwin and reinstall it.

Don't forget to double the backslash if running the cacls command from bash.


Max.
