I think the problem is either the local administrator group (sometimes
local administrators are expressedly forbidden to do anything on the
network) or your network user cannot change the DACL on the network
share (another common setup in large organizations).

You could try to move / copy that installation to the network share,
then.

Or meanwhile some new security policy got installed that throws a
spanner in the works.  If your colleague is still able to update
Cygwin, you'll know it's some sort of access right you're missing and
can work it out from there.
