If your user is a member of Administrators group, you'd have to run setup in privileged mode to even have a chance for that ability to actually work. If not, you may control it with SeCreateSymlink privilege. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Sunday, October 2, 2016 21:22:34 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
