The <literal>Install For</literal> options of
<literal>All Users</literal> or
<literal>Just Me</literal> are especially for multiuser systems
or Domain users. If you have access to a user account that is a local
Administrator or a member of the Administrators group, it is best to
install for <literal>All Users</literal>. You should only install for
<literal>Just Me</literal> if you do not have write access to
<literal>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE</literal> in the registry or the
All Users Start Menu, even if you are the only user planning to use
Cygwin on the machine. If you are seeking to rollout
Cygwin on a large Domain, you will want to read <Xref Linkend="ntsec">
in the Cygwin User's Guide and consult the Cygwin mailing list archives
about others' experiences.
The <literal>Install For</literal> options of <literal>All Users</literal>
or <literal>Just Me</literal> should always be left on the default
<literal>All Users</literal>, unless you do not have write access to
<literal>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE</literal> in the registry or the All Users
Start Menu. This is true even if you are the only user planning to use Cygwin
on the machine. Checking the <literal>Just Me</literal> will cause problems
for programs such as <command>crond</command> and <command>sshd</command>.
If you do not have the necessary permissions, but still want to use these
programs, consult the Cygwin mailing list archives about others' experiences.
