Installing cygwin on Windows 7 prompts for Admin credentials

[B. Ossia]

I have tried to install Cygwin for Windows 7 but it failed to finish
installation and stalls at 99% .No idea why but never was asked on
allowing it to make changes to the computer. i am also using plain
text format and hope this message go through for god sake!
