I have a Windows MSI installer that first loads Cygwin and then has a deferred

The copies into /usr/local/bin succeed fine.
The copies into /usr/local/etc always get Access denied.
I've tried swapping them and same behavior. The files that would copy into
/usr/local/bin now would not copy into
/usr/local/etc.
I'm seeing this behavior on Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 w/UAC.
The installer prompts the user for elevated privileges to deal with UAC.
Is there some underlying difference in the way that /usr/local/bin and
/usr/local/etc are configured in Cygwin?
it should be no difference.
However you can check the Windows ACL with
$ cd /usr/local
/usr/local
$ getfacl bin
# file: bin
# owner: marco
# group: Administrators
user::rwx
group::r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:other:r-x
$ getfacl etc
# file: etc
# owner: marco
# group: Administrators
user::rwx
group::r-x
mask:rwx
other:r-x
default:user::rwx
default:group::r-x
default:other:r-x
however, I will not be surprised if setup run by a MSI have additional
limitation.
Can you install the same "package" by setup alone to compare ?
