I said =E2=80=9Cchmod 666 /var/log/setup.log=E2=80=9D, and setup.e= xe still isn=E2=80=99t writing anything new to it. Well, RTFS for the win: setup/main.cc, line 290 purposely fails to initiali= ze the logger when it=E2=80=99s running with elevated permissions, as it wi= ll be when running under UAC. I can think of some weak reasons why that might be the case, but nothing th= at 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. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
