Well, RTFS for the win: setup/main.cc, line 290 purposely fails to initialize the logger when it’s running with elevated permissions, as it will be when running under UAC.
I can think of some weak reasons why that might be the case, but nothing that convinces me that this is the right thing to do.
Anyway, this has drifted off topic for this list. Anyone who cares enough to take it further should move the discussion to the cygwin-apps list.
