The only way that could go wrong is, if the user already has 30 mount points, since that's the current maximum nuber of allowed mounts. > I think I'll go with your previous suggestion of just going ahead and > trying to create the 'All Users' shortcut and falling back to the > user's start menu if that fails. > > Although, perhaps there's a way to tell from $CYGWINROOT whether we're > dealing with an install for all users or "just me"? No, but I don't think it would hurt to enhance setup.exe, either by adding arguments to postinstall/preremove scripts, or by adding an environment variable like $CYGWIN_AUDIENCE with the values "all_user" or "just_me".
