Error during install of cwRsyncServer 2.0.1 on XP

I tried to install cwRsyncServer 2.0.1 with OpenSSH, on a newly installed Windows XP Professional, logged in as Administrator.
About 2/3 of the way through the install (by the progress bar), I
get an error installing a file under C:\Program Files\cwRsyncServer.

So I check the cwRsyncServer directory, and find that even as
Administrator I cannot access the directory. The directory did
not appear to have an owner, in Windows Explorer.

I could make the installation complete by mucking around with taking ownership of the directory and changing ACLs, while the installation is stopped, then go back to the install and click the "Retry" button on the error (the other choices are "Ignore" and "Abort"). But I don't like doing this - I don't have confidence the install is okay.

After this installation, I found that the OpenSSH service was not starting. It would take a long time (many minutes) to try starting the service, and still not start. I don't know if this is because of the problem with the installation, or a separate problem.

Hi,
If you click details button during installation, you can get a detailed installation log. You will often find the reason why installation failed. This log will also help us to pinpoint problems.
