WHy do you think that? Setup.exe has nothing to do with the Cygwin DLL as far as file ownership is concerned. The files installed from the distro will be owned by Administrators, the files created within Cygwin will be owned by the user itself. > And I would add another rule: If the installing user is not Admin, but > the primary group is 'Domain Users', change gid to 'Users', so that an > instalation don't be inaccessible for local users. I don't think that's necessary. Either you're an admin and you want to install for everyone, or you are a user just installing for yourself. There's no other option and no need for another option.
