Windows permissions for the "Package Delivery" folder (and sub-directories) are being changed and this is causing errors in creating directory structure and downloading package files. This is because the Package Server Agent is unable to modify these directories.

This is caused by using the DACL Management registry key, found in TECH204095, and not letting the Package Server Agent set permissions on Package Delivery directories. To work around this permissions will need to be reset to default settings.
Please see the following steps to reset permissions on the GUID folders contained within Package Delivery, or other areas where packages may be stored.
One package: icacls "<Package GUID>" /t /reset
