Replying to [comment:12 hamish]: > sigh. what a complete pile of poo. +1 For the record, I'll include a copy of the referenced MSDN article: [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905330.aspx] Someone who cares about Windows (my "caring about Windows" level just dropped by a large margin after finding out about this) might want to look into how to create a "manifest" and whether this actually solves the problem. Also: 1. Is this caused (in whole or in part) by GRASS being installed somewhere other than the "Program Files" directory? If it is, then I care even less. If there are still problems with spaces in $GISBASE, we should fix them, rather than expecting GRASS to be installed somewhere else. 2. Is this relevant: {{{ Note The "User Account Control: Detect application installations and prompt for elevation" setting must be enabled for installer detection to detect installation programs. This setting is enabled by default and can be configured using the Security Policy Manager snap-in (secpol.msc) or with Group Policy (gpedit.msc). }}} I.e. if you disable that setting, does the problem go away? If it does, then "problem solved", IMNSHO. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/759#comment:13> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
