Dear Sir/Madam's

I have a old setup of cygwin installed with setup 2.573.2.3 (I think).

I have downloaded setup.exe version 2.682 and tried to install cygwin into a new directory without success. It installs but when I try to run cygwin.bat, the terminal screen comes up then dies.

I downloeaded set.exe version 2.682, renamed it to setup-2p682.exe and put it into my home dir of the cygwin that works.
ie termial output is
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gnuc...@elshadai ~
$ ls
CygCheck.sh     Setup-2p680.sh   setup-2p678.exe     setup.log       t.txt
Cygwin-New.sh   Setup-2p682.sh   setup-2p680.exe     setup.log.full
Setup-2p677.sh  cygcheck.out     setup-2p682.exe     setup.out
Setup-2p678.sh  setup-2p677.exe  setup-download.out  setup.txt

gnuc...@elshadai ~
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I then run it as such
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
gnuc...@elshadai ~
$ ./setup-2p682.exe -h > setup.txt

gnuc...@elshadai ~
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

one line of setup.txt contains
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AddAccessAllowedAce(, owner) failed: 1337
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
See attached setup.txt file for all lines

I have looked up AddAccessAllowedAce and know that it is a windows supplied subrountine callable from cpp, but without a running compiler I am unable to dtermine why this error message is coming up.

How do I set up an admin account which will allow me to run cygwin 1.7?

Yours Sincerely
Stephen Grant Brown
