No, I'm the sole user of this installation (that is, all files are "owned" by my user ID, under the Cygwin root)... The real reason was explained to me in a private response that I am posting below. Thanks for prepping the procmail postinstall patch -- hopefully, it'll be seen by the package maintainer and adopted into the package, appropriately.

If you run from a non-administrator cmd/pwsh session and require Perimeta to escalate privileges, that breaks the link between the console and the executable, so it can't provide that output. But if you run from an already-elevated console, or without requiring admin privileges in the first place, the installer will print details of its status to the console. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
