Yep, and the answer is: 'best of luck', combined with 'you're on your own', and 'patches appreciated'. > Apps should be installed > using 'Control Panel' to permit proper registry and user profile mapping > mechanisms to work, and apps should be TS aware in order to > avoid a variety of problems during install and multiuser use. 'Should be'. Not to be nasty, but here's how open source works: I scratch my itchs, and occasionally those I'm curious about.... Unless one of the following occurs: * I want to install cygwin on a TS/AS server. * Someone hands me a (small) bucket of money. * Someone contributes a reasonable quality patch for TS/AS support to setup.exe. ... setup won't 'automatically' support the TS/AS requirements. That said, running change user /install before you run setup, and change user /execute after installing should work for an 'all users' install of cygwin.
