I've been "official" Cygwin app installer/maintainer at a couple of gigs, where jumping thru the /virtual/ hoops to add Cygwin to the app catalog and assign it to myself, was easier than asking or getting permission to install or use it. Jumping thru the /virtual/ hoops to raise an issue can often prevent all future issues: reference https://support.symantec.com/us/en/article.HOWTO80920.html#v72437653 -- Take care.
