In my analysis, setup is reporting for a non-elevated shell: $ ./setup-x86_64 User has NO backup/restore rights User has symlink creation right note: Hand installation over to elevated child process. for an elevated shell: $ ./setup-x86_64 Starting cygwin install, version 2.911 User has backup/restore rights User has symlink creation right *** --symlink-type native requires SeCreateSymbolicLink privilege or 'Developer Mode' I went through C:\Windows\System32\gpedit.msc to add the "admin" user to have the "Create symbolic links" permission. (I had previously given this permission to my user account) I do not have 'Developer Mode' enabled as it is overkill unless necessary. I suspect that setup-x86_64.exe is not correctly checking for the "SeCreateSymbolicLink" and/or "Create symbolic links" permission.
