A while ago there was a discussion (in the "Vista & coreutils" thread)
that suggested adding an install.exe.manifest file to solve the UAC
issues with Vista.
From a Cygwin 1.5.24-2 install, two more manifest files are needed: one
for install-info.exe and (more importantly) one for patch.exe, otherwise
you get a "permission denied" error when launching either of them.
The required manifest is identical to the one already provided for
/bin/install.exe, just update the "name" field to point to the new
executable.
If you are adding the manifest to an existing installation, you may need
to touch the .exe files after creating the manifests as Vista caches
this metadata.
Thanks,
Ben.
