I had to install Cygwin 1.5.x in order to get it working. The latest version of cygwin does not play too well with VCL.

I have a windows xp base image which I am try to reserve. The image creation goes fine, but when the VM boots up the ssh service is disabled. I tried to manually start the service but the service does not start. Eventually the management node times out and the reservation fails. Any ideas what I am missing here? Thanks.
