That would be excellent.

With some interface tweaking, I have nothing inherently against the osgeo4w installer, but a stand alone along the lines of what you are preparing will be a big help in a number of cases, especially in universities and other large institutions where we are trying to get people to consider open source.

It may even get people to try the osgeo4w installer for the other apps if it is successful.

I'm working on the installer, I think I've almost got it. I'll post an
update in the next couple of days. I'm working on Vista, so that's
what I'll be packaging, but as long as the vista version doesn't cause
problems in xp (and as far as i know it doesn't) we shouldn't need two
windows packages.

Hi,

2009/3/31 Michael Barton <michael.bar...@asu.edu>:
Native, stand alone installer for GRASS should be a high priority. I guess
we need both an XP and Vista version.

personally I have no problem with osgeo4w installer. Ideally should be
mentained both - standalone and osgeo4w - if we have enough manpower.
If no, I would incline to osgeo4w.
