Subject: install for multiple (select) users in NT/2000
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"


I originally installed cygwin under a regular user account (call it 
"user1") on a computer running Win2k.  I selected the option for 
"this user only".

I'd like for certain other user accounts (but not all) and the 
administrator account to be able to use it.  I tried just launching 
cygwin.bat from the administrator account, but that doesn't work 
right -- I get a bash prompt, but it doesn't work -- not even an ls.

I tried running setup as administrator, again selecting "only this 
user", and "local install", but the installer said there was nothing 
to install.  And cygwin.bat still didn't work.

I'm guessing that I need registry keys for the users that are to run 
it.  Would exporting the registry keys HKLU/software/cygnus (or 
something like that) from the user1 account, then adding them to the 
other user accounts work?
