Replying to [comment:23 jdemeyer]:
> Hmm, it might simply be related to the name (i.e. Windows might assume
that a program with "install" in the name needs admin rights). Could you
rename/copy it to something more innocent like "place-info" and try to
execute it?
In the meantime I went to the same conclusion and that's indeed the
problem.
Windows asks for admin privileges to execute any file whose name contains
install.
Rename the file and it will execute as usual.
The proper solution is to add a install-info.exe.manifest file together
with the executable.
In fact Cygwin distributed packages do so, and we might just copy it from
them.
