Hi! I really do not miss the windows installer. The war-file approach is so mych easier to deploy, and makes Geoserver run as a service. As a server application obviously should. Also, it was said that the Windows installer only created a test or toy installation. I had no use for that. Last month I was setting up a geodata server, and was a bit taken back without the familiar windows installer. But figured out how to use the war file. I also wanted Geonetwork which was even easier to launch. So, I Installed Apache Tomcat/9.0.26 as a service, dropped two war files in a folder and that was it. Then (as previously reported) I had a bit of trouble installing the GDAL libraries. This was because no documentation dealt with this setup. This was so simple that I'm afraid I am missing some important point here. What would be the advantage be with a windows installer, as compared to the war-file installation?
