Further information, this Key appears to exist only if such operations are  
actually pending.

I triggered a re-install of cygwin 1.7.3-1 again, and got this in the key:


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
...
"PendingFileRenameOperations"=hex(7):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,\
   63,00,79,00,67,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,62,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,63,00,79,\
   00,67,00,77,00,69,00,6e,00,31,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2e,00,6e,00,65,00,\
   77,00,00,00,21,00,5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,43,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,79,00,67,\

   00

Or, more readably:

\??\C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll.new
!\??\C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
\??\C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\cygserver.exe.new
!\??\C:\cygwin\usr\sbin\cygserver.exe

However, after a reboot I still have these files:

$ ls -l /bin/cygwin1.dll*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 Administratoren None 2.5M 2010-04-03 11:29 /bin/cygwin1.dll*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mandree         root 2.5M 2010-04-03 11:29  
/bin/cygwin1.dll.new*
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mandree root 150K 2010-04-03 11:29 /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mandree root 150K 2010-04-03 11:29  
/usr/sbin/cygserver.exe.new*

I would have thought that the .new files were gone after the reboot, or  
these got somewhat more appropriate owners (I always run setup.exe as  
Administrator, and have it install "for all users")...
