Not a recent bug but annoying anyway

It seems the post-install script is not considering that the
installation can be in a disk different from C: , properly
in this case D:


2020/12/15 08:40:13 running: d:\cygwin32\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile 
"/etc/postinstall/cygwin-doc.sh"
mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start 
Menu/Programs/D:/cygwin32/Cygwin (32-bit)/User Guide (PDF).lnk" failed; 
does the target directory exist?
mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start 
Menu/Programs/D:/cygwin32/Cygwin (32-bit)/User Guide (HTML).lnk" failed; 
does the target directory exist?


$ ls "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" | 
grep Cygwin
Cygwin
Cygwin (32-bit)
