Greetings, Aurélien Couderc!

The problem with installing Cygwin on a network share is that network share
could have enforced permissions which are not compatible with Cygwin's
requirements, and not all tools are ready to work with UNC paths.
This seems to be not your issue, as I can see, but you should keep it in mind
nonetheless.
Adding to that, Cygwin is installed for specific local environment and cannot
me easily transferred to a different one due to potential address mapping issues.
So, installing it on a network share thinking it can be "accessed anywhere
anytime" is simply not going to work.
