How about a 64-bit installer that doesn't require UAC?

[Bill Welch]

I presume you're referring to
http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/cannot-run-setup64-exe-without-admin-privileges-even-if-renamed-foo-exe-td102712.html, 
where the final (official cygwin, apparently) word is that you think 
cygwin users are too stupid to be allowed a choice in 64-bit, that they 
have in 32-bit, no matter how locked down and single user their 
corporate machine might be.

Thanks.
