setup-1.7.exe can't use I:\ for Local Package Directory

I had great difficulties installing 1.7 on Windows XP home edition
running in VirtualBox as I described here:
<http://cygwinusers.org/index.php?topic=10.msg20>

But when I finally changed the Local Package Directory from I:\
(which I used VirtualBox to map to a directory on the host machine)
to I:\pkg, it worked with no problems.

This is a work around, which solves it for me, though I think it
should still be fixed.
