Depends on your configuration. See the User's Guide
<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html> for more details on
permissions. If you have a follow-up question, please read and
follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:

The trivial case is to rerun "setup.exe" and just install the previous
version. If there are dependencies, this could be a more complex problem.
You may need to downgrade practically everything to make this work out. :-(
But I'd start with the easy option and proceed from there. ;-)
