It appears Vista has added some privilege checks on files such as
"patch" and "install", based solely on their name. This affected Cygwin
as well:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/84697
The Cygwin folks eventually found the solution: supply a manifest file
alongside the executable, containing what amounts to saying "Yes, my
name is patch (or install), but I do not require administrative
permissions to run".
You can find such a manifest file on an archive of their mailing list:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.cygwin/84762
Could you try the following:
1) Copy the following files from some recent Cygwin installation (or
create them based on the above link) to /bin in MSYS:
patch.exe.manifest
install.exe.manifest
install-info.exe.manifest
2) Type "touch /bin/install.exe /bin/install-info.exe /bin/patch.exe" in
MSYS.
Does this helps?
