No, my patch can't be accepted as it removes permissions handling completely. It wasn't me who started the thread and I believe, my patch can be of interest for anyone else who will search for a solution for this specific problem. Anyway, I don't see how an option to switch off permissions handling by setup.exe can harm while there is similar functionality in cygwin itself. My very limited understanding of C is not enough to do this, and I never worked with GUI applications. But I will see if it can be done via command line switch and if I succeed, I will submit a proper patch. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
