installing cygwin: setup.exe error (0xc000007b)

[Richard Noble]

 downloaded setup.exe from http://cygwin.com.  Downloaded and ran
setup.exe with anti-virus software disabled as per FAQ.  I receive the
following error message immediately after executing setup.exe (The
application failed to initialize properly (0xc000007b). Click on OK to
terminate the application).   This is a new corporate dell laptop with
Windows XP and the latest updates from windows update as of today.
Bellow is the information provided by Windows through the eventvwr.  I
am using an account that is in the local administrators group and have
also tried to install while logged in as the local administrator.
Thanks for any advice and if you need more information please let me
know.

Thanks,
Richard Noble
