Hi Jon,
for me the new setup executables do not work, same for both:
In my analysis, setup is reporting for a non-elevated shell:
$ ./setup-x86_64
User has NO backup/restore rights
User has symlink creation right
note: Hand installation over to elevated child process.
for an elevated shell:
$ ./setup-x86_64
Starting cygwin install, version 2.911
User has backup/restore rights
User has symlink creation right
*** --symlink-type native requires SeCreateSymbolicLink privilege or
'Developer Mode'
[...]
I do not have 'Developer Mode' enabled as it is overkill unless necessary.
I suspect that setup-x86_64.exe is not correctly checking for the
"SeCreateSymbolicLink" and/or "Create symbolic links" permission.
Thanks! Yes, there's a few things wrong with how that permission is
detected and it's presence reported.
I've uploaded setup 2.912 with an attempted fix.
https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.912.x86_64.exe
https://cygwin.com/setup/setup-2.912.x86.exe
Please try that, and see if it improves things for you?
