I've already tried two versions without much success.

Cygwin has become pretty robust, but there are some fundamental problems

with file permissions/attributes. There is a technical document that goes into

the gory details, but the basic rule of thumb is that you are safe if you do all

the work in Cygwin, but problems can arise if your workflow requires mixing

cygwin and Windows apps. Enterprise level environments do tricks with

Windows attributes/permissons that cause grief. In my case, I often got

"access denied" after a file had been touched by Windows apps, and the

Cygwin (POSIX} permissions required by shh for my ~/.ssh directory were

being translated to Windows permissions that then gave "access denied"

in Cygwin's interpretation (e.g., back to POSIX) of the Windows permissions.

Unfortunately, I have to talk to a Windows box as these are PDF's that need to
be printed on a Windows only PC
