I have almost finished the stand alone installer. It is packaged, I'm just trying to work out some issues with the python folder not being found. When grass.py is run, it can't find os.py to import it even though the Python25 dir is in PYTHONPATH. But once I solve this (ideas anyone?) I can upload

Ohhh! This indeed makes sense. We still need a vista version. But the less duplication the better. Michael On Apr 2, 2009, at 1:10 PM, Moritz Lennert wrote: On 02/04/09 18:51, Michael Barton wrote: Thanks. This is good to know. Of course the user/lab manager still needs to create a *.bat

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

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.

Colin, Marco's installer has been a great success here (both on Vista and XP) and students greatly appreciate also the msys console that gives them lot of convenient linux tools. So if you could rebuild the installer with GRASS64 it would be greatly appreciated. thanks a lot for your work, H

Michael, I have just tried r.patch, v.patch and v.what.rast on the new grass-6.4.svn release in osgeo4w (built on XP I assume), and haven't had any problems with any of them. So perhaps these issues have been solved. Maybe I'm missing it somewhere in the many wiki pages, but is there a complete li
