Hi ,

I am currently packaging Cygwin 1.7 i.e. bundling all the files into an msi and installing it. The requirement is : install only the basic cygwin packages. Provide permissions to the Cygwin users so that they can install the packages that they require later. 
The issue that I am currently facing is : the modify permissions given to the INSTALLDIR "C:\Cygwin" using the msi lock permission table is being inherited through all the subfolders and files. Any new manually created folders and files anywhere within C:\Cygwin via Windows explorer or via the Cygwin Bash Shell are inheriting permissions. But any new installations done by the user by choosing a package from the Cygwin list are not inheriting the permissions. The installed user who installs the package has full permissions to delete/modify the folder and its contents . But the local admin/administrator/system does not have permissions. It gives an access denied error. These 3 user groups administrators/system/users are not even being listed in the security properties of those installed folders.
I have tried editing the /etc/fstab file with the noacl value. Still its not working. The content of my /etc/fstab file is as follows:

C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary,auto,noacl 0 0

C:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib ntfs binary,auto,noacl 0 0

C:/cygwin /cygwin ntfs override,binary,auto,noacl 0 0

I am aware of the fact that CYGWIN=nontsec environment variable is obsolete for this version.

Please help.

Thanks,

HRS
