Again I was not very clear I don't want to know how to install cygwin because even a monkey can do it. No what I want to know is in the installer how do you change folder permissions, what kind of API, is it done by the installer or by some post install script... Where can I find cygwin installer sources if it's done by it. Actually I built a custom installer for msys/mingw-w64 and when I install it in C:/Developer/MaxGW, if I run it without permissions I cannot create new folder : mkdir: cannot create directory `/home': Permission denied cp: cannot create regular file `/home/Vincent/.inputrc': No such file or direry bash: cd: /home/Vincent: No such file or directory It means I usually have to run my application using administrator rights but I don't like to do this. Cygwin seems to allow user to create folder inside its installation path so I would like to know how it's possible.
