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?
Yes, proxies always offer all kinds of nasty problems... A quick google search found this one: <http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Inetc_plug-in>. I have no idea if it could solve the issue, but at least they advertise: "Internet client plug-in for files download and upload. Based on the InetLoad plug-in. Network implementation uses MS WinInet API, supports http/https and ftp protocols." If that is true, they basically would use the IE engine (including all those nice security holes in it you get for free from Bill) which in turn picks up the system-wide proxy/network settings. Might be worth to give it a try?
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.
Sorry, this was actually my fault. I came into my colleague's office when he tried to view some tracks in Google earth. And of course I told him that there is a *far* better tool, which he can simply install from sf, and solva all his problem. Didn't look into the wiki first. *Shame on me* - looking for the big brown paper bag in which I can hide... :-/
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.
I see. Using /usr/local/* on UNIX (including the Mac) sounds a lot simpler!
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.
We will try again tomorrow, no Win at home... ;-) Thanks, Albrecht.
