Comment(by hellik): Replying to [comment:48 hamish]: > > The idea to put the d/l in its own page at the end of the installer wizard instead of with the sample dataset downloads was because I worry it might get clicked past by someone hitting Next Next Next Next and not paying attention, then they wonder why it doesn't work. ... a first attempt to fix this ... no really time here on my side at the moment to get closer to this ... any extra help welcomed ... > > Another idea to avoid the registry key search- after figuring out which dlls are actually needed, we'd to compile a tiny program depending on them and have it run as part of the startup script and fail with a more informative error message (or, if we can't do much about the "this process ended" message, we can at least catch that it failed and the startup script continuing on from there sees the process return code and aborts with a more informative error message.) ? ... a tiny program/test would be nice ... any hints? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1428#comment:58> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
