I have the strangest of problems. Freshly downloaded setup-x86_64.exe fails to create some files, e.g. bash.exe, with access denied. So, I started digging. Trying to create bash.exe (with any random content) by other means also fails. Creating other files in the C:\cygwin64\bin folder works just fine, e.g. C:\cygwin64\bin\bach.exe. There is no existing C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe that has permissions that can be examined, so the only permissions that can reasonably have any effect are those for the folder, but as stated, it is ok to create e.g. C:\cygwin64\bin\bach.exe which means that folder permissions appear to be ok. Renaming the existing C:\cygwin64 to C:\cygwin64old, and then trying to install a fresh copy in C:\cygwin64 gets the same permission error. Installing bash et al with the base in C:\cygwin65 works just fine. So, it appears that the name "C:\cygwin64\bin\bash.exe" (and a few others) is just special in some way. I'm not part of any domain, and I'm on Windows 10. Rebooting doesn't help. Disabling AVG business edition doesn't help. What can cause this? Can there be some hidden link to a pending remove? Any suggestions what I can try?
