#23 Installing in Cygwin when non-root, but with admin rights
I do not have root priviledges on my work computer, but I am part of the administrative group. Running the emacro.install complains that I am not root because my uid is != 0:
$ id
uid=162968(p044529) gid=10545(mkgroup-l-d) groups=0(root),544(Administrators),555(Remote Desktop Users),545(Users),10545(mkgroup-l-d)
However, since I am part of groups 0 (root) and 544 (Administrators) there are enough privileges available for installing emacro. The install worked fine after making the following change:
28a29,30
> *groups=0*)
