So you're kind of hacking into your lab computers, right? :-) I noticed
something in your original output:
---------------------------
Fehler
---------------------------
Directory H:\tmp does not exist, would you like me to create it?
---------------------------
Ja Nein
---------------------------
And:
---------------------------
Cygwin Setup
---------------------------
Cannot open log file L:\TGI\cygwin/var/log/setup.log for writing
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
That's strange. Setup tries to install on different disks. Does the
network share change each time you log on?
