Permission problems on Windows are hard to understand: The permissions
depend not only on the owner and permissions of the particular directory,
but also of all the ancestor directories of that directory.

I'd suggest to try Cygwin or WSL. They emulate a POSIX environment much
better than MSYS2; therefore you are much more likely to have positive
experiences with GNU software in these two environments.
