Error message when running mkamsboot.exe (Sansa Clip rockbox)

[gus]

Hi there
i have a V01 Sansa Clip and i'm trying to install the current build of Rockbox.
I did everything that's indicated in the manual (the .rockbox directory in my Clip's root, the rbinstall directory on my desktop with the firmware, the bootloader and mkamsboot in it).
But when i try to run mkamsboot through CMD (writing DIR then "mkamsboot.exe") i get this message: "The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction (...) Choose close to terminate the application"
I have Windows Vista and i downloaded the Win32 mkamsboot app of course.
Before that i also had a few times an "Invalid Win32 application" error message as well.

According to google that message usually means your windows install is screwed up.  Might want to investigate that.

Well I have no idea what you've done since you didn't post the cmd log, but assuming you followed the directions it should be fine.

You could also have a corrupted download.

What is cmd log? The text i write in cmd?
If so once i'm in CMD i write "DIR" to check that i have the mkamsboot app. Then i write "mkamsboot" or "mkamsboot.exe" and i get those error messages.

I tried again at work (i have windows 2000) but i get this "Invalid Win32 application" error message again.
I tried downloading the files again as well.

I don't want to waste your precious time guys so maybe i'll just wait for the automated installation.

EDIT: IT WORKED!!
This "cd Desktop\rbinstall" thing was chinese for me, i figured out i needed to add C:\Documents and Settings\etc before that as i was in the wrong directory. That's pretty hard to understand for a newbie. But thanks anyway for the great work i hope i'll enjoy it
