1.7 installation failed (on network drive?)

I've tested the network installation with last Saturday's update of
setup-1.7.exe and unfortunately, the problem remains.
However, I can add a screen log after calling setup from mintty for the
case that setup cannot even store its log anywhere (attached).
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"...
