After updating to setup-x86_64.exe version 2.875 I can't use install
paths longer than 15 chars and error is throwed:
> The install directory must be absolute, with both a drive letter and
> leading slash, like C:\Cygwin
Below are the contents of setup.log.full:

I've double checked and this issue doesn't exist with 2.872. I don't
remember it also with 2.873 and 2.874 (I can't check those versions
right now, because after update I have only additional copy of 2.872).
I tried to attach cygcheck.out, but then my e-mails were rejected with
such message:
