Now, the reason for that is that there is no "root" group
in Windows. Instead it's called "Administrators".
The group is obtained in line 2827 of
/usr/share/csih/cygwin-service-installation-helper.sh:
admingroup=$(/usr/bin/mkgroup -l | /usr/bin/awk -F: '{if ( $2 == "S-1-5-32-544"
) print $1;}')
On my system this yields "Administrators". Apparently it yields "root" on your
system. Any idea why?
