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
