- Subject: Installing cygwin on Windows 7 prompts for Admin credentials
Hi,
I would like to let one of my users install cygwin as a normal
(non-admin) account.
However, when they run setup.exe, they get a UAC prompt "Do you want to
allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to
your computer?
To continue, type an administrator password, and then click Yes."
I'd like to let them install it, but obviously I don't want to give them
admin privs.
What else can I do to workaround this?
