Special Forums Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions Interrupted Cygwin install changed permissions on C drive Post 302746041 by DGPickett on Tuesday 18th of December 2012 04:28:39 PM

The cygwin install is not very administrative most of the time, so this is odd. See if you can write files from a session like a console "run as administrator". When I right-click wondows explorer, it says I can "Run as administrator". It sounds like c:\ premissions are damaged, but it may be some related registry thing.

If this data is omitted, two results are possible: o If you have administrative permissions (that is, your numerical ID is less than 100), the following defaults are provided: mode o If you do not have administrative permissions, the default mode, owner, and group of the destination file are the same as yours. The option forces to move object to in the destination directory before installing the new object. reads the file to determine the final destination of the file to be installed. The file contains pairs of path names separated by spaces or tabs. The first name is the "official" destination (for example: The second name is the new destination.
