Subject: Trouble running awk & deployment of Cygwin

Hello everyone,

I ran into a problem with Cygwin whilst trying to run awk.  I get the 
error:
The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction.
CS:080c IP:554c OP:63 69 66 69 65 Choose 'Close' to terminate the 
application

This happens when running it in any form including trying to get the 
version: awk --version

I don't know if this has any bearing on it but this particular version 
of Cygwin was downloaded on one machine and I copied the Cygwin folder 
on to the machine I am having this error on.
I intend on putting Cygwin on Windows machines using an install process 
and modifying registry entries as needed.

I need suggestions and gotchas on doing this.  It is for deployment  
for software we developed.  After having several different problems I 
finally imported another user's registry and it started working for the 
most part.

I would appreciate tips or a place where there is a guide of some type 
on deploying Cygwin in a non-interactive install process.  We want the 
install to occur without user intervention.

Thanks for all your help in advance,

Robert Pollard
