I can't reproduce this. I tried with shares on Samba, with shares on a remote NTFS on a machine in the same AD domain, and with shares on a remote machine which is not member of the domain. In all three cases I could install Cygwin from scratch just fine, using the latest setup-1.7.exe. Are you sure the share permissions are sufficient? In contrast to the 1.5 setup, the 1.7 setup tries to create files and directories with explicit ACLs. I assumed that this could make problems, but in my case it just doesn't make any. When I created the shares, I just made sure that the share permissions were sufficient.
