When browse folders in the respective page in setup.exe, no network shares = are visible. When I manually enter the path (using a mapped drive), I get a dialog: "Dir= ectory S:\cygwin\Downloads does not exist, would you like me to create it?"= which is wrong since the folder exists. When I click "yes", I get an error "Couldn't create directory. Is drive ful= l or read-only?" I can create a folder (and delete it) from Explorer, so it's not a Windows = permission problem. What is the problem here? I searched the documentation and it mentions a co= uple of problems with network shares and Windows authentication but that wh= en Cygwin is already running.
