Dear List,
I have two admin accounts on a Windows XP Pro machine. I installed
Cygwin 1.7 beta using Admin1 initially. This morning, I tried to update
some packages from account Admin2.
I kept getting errors about not being able to update files because they
were "in use".
It turned out that I just needed to blow away all the permissions from
the cygwin tree and add an inheritable ACL for the Administrators group.
But - as the other posters have said, shouldn't setup just default to
installing as "Administrators" rather than a specific admin user so that
it is possible to share the cygwin tree between users?
Just my two pence.
Chris.
