I presume you're referring tohttp://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/cannot-run-setup64-exe-without-admin-privileges-even-if-renamed-foo-exe-td102712.html, where the final (official cygwin, apparently) word is that you think cygwin users are too stupid to be allowed a choice in 64-bit, that they have in 32-bit, no matter how locked down and single user their corporate machine might be.

Greetings, Bill Welch!Yes, I could try to change the application manifest myself, but that seems esoteric and I haven't been able to find any GPL tool.I suggest you use search before posting. This has been discussed already. The real solution would be a tool that run in postinstall scripts and can prompt user for privilege elevation, but noone had time or inclination to write one.
