Hi Albrecht and all, when I reworked the windows installer last year I also faced the problem that downloading FWTools does not work when a http proxy is in place. I failed to find a solution. Maybe there is any NSIS expert in the list who can give me a hint?
Recently I wrote some installation instructions. See http://www.qlandkarte.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=21&Itemid=24 or in the Wiki where it reads. "In that case, you can download and installFWTools 2.4.7 manually before running the QLandkarte GT installer." The important point is that FWTools must be really installed *before* QLGT. Maybe we should highlight the word "before" in the installation instructions. The reason for this is that during QLGT installation, FWTools are located based on the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FWtools\Install_Dir which is created during FWTools installation. Based on that the starter script QLandkarteGT.bat is generated. Sounds complicated? Yes, also for me. But I did not find a simpler solution. So: please install QLGT again after FWTools has been installed. Im am sure that some of the problems reported should disappear then. As Oliver wrote, this should be better once we have switched to another gdal distribution. But this is also not off the shelf and needs to be adapted. So it will take time. Concerning the Window appearance I have no clue. Sometimes there are some minor weird effects which I attribute to Qt. But nothing like you reported. You can send an e-mail with a screenshot.
