The fix on this particular machine was to use gawk instead of awk.
According to some of the suggestions I received, awk is a symlink to
gawk anyway. So, this should work fine. I wonder why I was getting
the error since nothing should have changed?
Also, contrary to what some believed I wasn't running awk from a DOS
prompt. I was running a bash shell script that was using the command.
It worked on my machine but didn't work on another.
Thanks for all your help,
Robert

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
