No, this means that it will need to request privilege elevation when appropriate, instead of running with elevated privileges from the start. Or we would need a tool to run postinstall scripts with elevated privileges, where necessary. run/run2 are likely candidates for such functionality. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 25.09.2013, <20:55> Sorry for my terrible english... -- 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
