Don't know if that helps. Apparently setup-1-7.exe cannot create
directories (including the top package directory) on that network
NFTS drive, although all other tools can easily create them.
Despite cgf's point this should not delay the 1.7.1 release, may I
suggest once more (and I'm not adding this to the 1.7.1 release
date thread) that while the release is being delayed anyway due to
other discussions, we might as well try to resolve this. Personally,
I can do with a workaround; I'm just trying to help avoid trouble
with other users complaining after the release...

I just had another look into this and unfortunately I still can't
reproduce it. What I see in your log output is the fact that ...
hang on ...
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/timestamp) failed 13 Permission denied
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/var/run/utmp) failed 13 Permission denied
io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/alternatives.lst.gz) failed 13 Permission
denied
[etc]
So the fopen calls fail. fopen in setup is actually a call to nt_wfopen
in filemanip.cc. If you could take a look, it's not a very complicated
function. The general idea is to call NtCreateFile with
FILE_OPEN_FOR_BACKUP_INTENT rights to allow an admin to install without
permission trouble.
As you can see, the error handling (lines 466ff) is somewhat
oversimplified. You get a Permission denied as a fallback error
if none of the path-related errors is triggered. Unfortunately
we don't know the exact status code returned by NtCreateFile and
I have no real idea what the problem might be.
I have traced the status values returned by NtCreateFile (with printf
actually), see the screen logs attached. I pasted in the popup error
messages where they occurred.
There is a bunch of the following NtCreateFile problems in the log:
#define STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED ((NTSTATUS)0xC022L)
#define STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID ((NTSTATUS)0xC033L)
#define STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND ((NTSTATUS)0xC034L)
#define STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND ((NTSTATUS)0xC03AL)
#define STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_SYNTAX_BAD ((NTSTATUS)0xC03BL)
However, before the fatal error occurs, it's just STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
in both cases.
What we need is this: Build a debug version of setup (you need gcc-3
for that since the -mno-cygwin option is still used), start it under
GDB, and set a breakpoint to filemanip.cc:468. GDB will break there if
an error gets triggered. Examine what status codes are returned.
See /usr/include/w32api/ddk/ntstatus.h what status code that is.
I also ran it with gdb and could just see the same status code that'
also in my trace log; don't know if there's any other gdb-retrieved
information you'd like to see.
That might give us some clue. The only vague idea what you could try
else is to remove the FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT flag from the NtCreateFile
call and see if it works without that.
That makes no difference, I tried both versions. The flag is only used
in filemanip.cc anyway while the problem occurs in mkdir.cc.
Hope this helps a little bit, maybe at least for coming up with further
debug instructions.
