The file just has to be read-only. So something >else is wrong. Ah, sorry. I take that back. I didn't read the whole bug report. These *are* the system-style symlinks, probably created by setup.exe.

Regardless, the comment about a patch still holds despite the code offered in the wine bug report. cgf -- 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
