Can't create home directory

- Subject: Can't create home directory
Hi,
I'm trying to install cygwin to test the openssh server. I have had it on my
machine before and removed it, and am trying to install it again. I believe
I have gone through all the correct steps for uninstallation (registry
entries, environment variables and the like), but now, whenever I install, I
get errors as soon as I try to execute bash, saying that Administrator does
not have permissions to create /home/Administrator.
I have tried changing ownership to 544:544, opening everything to 777,
setting the directory open to Everyone in Windows, but nothing seems to
work. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? I have tried to search
the archives, but could not find any entries.
Thanks in advance
Winston Gutkowski
