Where are you seeing this error?
final error reporting window of setup-x86_64.ext instance
the result of the error is no access to any cyg-x apps via start menu, etc.what is the proper way to fix this error?
What does it show in /var/log/setup.log.full?
attached.

relevant lines appear to be:
mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/StartMenu/Programs/Cygwin-X/XWin Server.lnk" failed; does the target directory exist?mkshortcut: Saving "/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/StartMenu/Programs/Cygwin-X/User script.lnk" failed; does the target directory exist?
dir permissions are reported as:
d---rwxr-x+ 1 userxyz       Administrators 0 May 20 10:06  Cygwin-X/
suggestions?

Problem is that directory is not created with a User DACL, so its parentprobably also lacks a User DACL.


First check the X11 directories are okay:

Next go to the Cygwin-X directory and check up the parents in the path until youcan see drwxr[-w]xr[-w]x, and check that directory has User DACLs e.g. [sanitized]:


$ lsattr -d /proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/
/proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/ Readonly, Notindexed
$ls -dl /proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/

drwxr-xr-x+ 1 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 Dec 7 2019/proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/


$ getfacl /proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/

then work your way back down checking:

/proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ Readonly,Notindexed

so try fixing that with:

$ setfacl -md:u:$USER:rwx /proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\Menu/Programs

$ chmod a+rx /proc/cygdrive/c/ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start\ Menu/Programs

then list Cygwin-X:

Now hopefully when you rerun setup, it will succeed with the shortcuts.
