ssh-host-config fails on Win7 even as admin

[Bernd Prager]

All,

I am running ssh-host-config on CYGWIN_NT-6.1 2.6.0(0.304/5/3) 
2016-08-31 under Windows 7 Enterprise Service Pack 1 in a Cygwin64 
Terminal as Adminstrator:

It breaks with:

*** Query: Should privilege separation be used? (yes/no) yes
*** Warning: The owner and the Administrators need
*** Warning: to have .w. permission to /var/run.
*** Warning: Here are the current permissions and ACLS:

*** ERROR: Problem with /var/run directory. Exiting.


Based on that report, I do not see any problems.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hallo Bernd,

The user under which this script is running (bprager) is also member
of the local Administrators group?

Is the openssh version current?
Running ssh-host-config looks like different for me (openssh-7.2p2-1):

*** Query: Do you want to install sshd as a service?
*** Query: (Say "no" if it is already installed as a service) (yes/no) yes

I meant, I am not asked about privilege separation at all.
