  Nah, here's what to do.  You have no problem creating directories on this
share otherwise, right?  So start up sysinternals filemon, set it to filter on
"cygwin17", then in a cmd.exe shell window run "mkdir \?\H:\cygwin17p2", then
run setup.exe and let it try and create H:\cygwin17p1, then let's compare the
logs for those two events and see what flags each call was using.

    cheers,
