Mount / Access is Denied

Hi everyone,

I'm having some trouble getting Cygwin x86_64 to install. Whenever I
try to install it says "Mount - Access is Denied". When I click OK it
just closes.

I'm starting setup with the -B parameter, because I simply want it to
install to a directory and not touch any OS settings. I have tried
many other tricks but it always says "Mount / Access is Denied". I
have even tried using x86 only version, but it fails exactly the same
way.

I examined setup.log and setup.log.full and there's nothing really
useful there. Only thing "more or less" useful is it says it is trying
to open Service Control Manager and it fails, but that's pretty much
expected… Anyways, files attached below:

My OS is Windows 8.1 x64. UAC is on, behavior set as Prompt for
Credentials on Secure Desktop. Only elavate executables that are
signed and only elevate apps in secure locations settings are both on.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

cicao
