Log on to the Windows computer being used for the VCL image as root
The scripts included with the Apache VCL source code which configure the Cygwin sshd service will likely fail if you install Cygwin while logged in as a user other than root.
setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe
If running a newer version of Windows which includes User Account Control (UAC), be sure to either disable UAC and reboot before installing Cygwin or right-click setup.exe and select Run as Administrator

Download the Cygwin 1.5.x installer to the desktop: http://cygwin.com/setup-legacy.exe
WARNING: Do not download and install Cygwin 1.7 unless you are running Apache VCL 2.2.1 or later. Changes have been made to Cygwin 1.7 which will cause VCL reservations to fail.
Run the Cygwin installer:
setup-legacy.exe
If running a newer version of Windows which includes User Account Control (UAC), be sure to either disable UAC and reboot before installing Cygwin or right-click setup.exe and select Run as Administrator
It is useful to have a Cygwin shortcut on root's desktop. The Cygwin installer creates the desktop icon in the shared desktop folder for all users meaning it will appear on the desktop when users make reservations for the image. This is not recommended. Move the shortcut from the shared desktop folder to root's desktop folder:
After Cywgin installation is complete, delete the installation files from the desktop:
Launch the Cygwin shortcut on the desktop
If running a newer version of Windows which includes User Account Control (UAC), be sure to either disable UAC and reboot before launching the Cygwin shortcut or right-click the Cygwin shortcut and select Run as Administrator
Download cygwin-sshd-config.sh using wget to root's Cygwin home directory on the Windows computer:
C:\Cygwin\home\root\cygwin-sshd-config.sh
Set the script to be executable:
chmod +x cygwin-sshd-config.sh
Fix Cygwin 1.7 issue:
sed -i -e 's/^ssh-host-config.*/ssh-host-config -y -c "nodosfilewarning ntsec" -w "$PASSWORD"/' cygwin-sshd-config.sh
Run the script and specify the root account password as an argument, enclose the password in single quotes in case special characters are used in the password:
./cygwin-sshd-config.sh 'PASSWORD'
You should see something similar to the following towards then end of the script output:
The CYGWIN sshd service was started successfully.
Download gen-node-key.sh using wget to the management node:
Set the script to executable:
chmod +x gen-node-key.sh
Run the script on the managment node and specify the Windows computer's IP address or hostname as the 1st argument. A second argument specifying the private SSH key path can be specified. If the 2nd argument isn't specified, /etc/vcl/vcl.key will be used.
