This is on a Server 2008 R2 Datacenter 64bit VM:

Utilities and SDK for SUA installed and configured.
checked custom installation.
checked to install everything.
In config options there was a checkbox to enable case-sensitive default.

This SUA is not available for WIn 7 pro.   Have to upgrade to ultimate
or use a server os.

cygwin should do the same, but that SUA case-sensitive default option
i believe sets a registry setting that you may have to set manually.
