Ohhh!

This indeed makes sense. We still need a vista version. But the less duplication the better.

Thanks. This is good to know. Of course the user/lab manager still needs to create a *.bat file from instructions in a blog (at least now referenced on the WIKI).

No, what I meant is that with the osgeo4w installation environment, someone could package a stand-alone GRASS installer and make it available via the GRASS web site. Seems more sustainable to me than having separate efforts going into a stand-alone installer and osgeo4w. I guess someone would have to try the osgeo4w path to an installer once to see how user and lab-friendly this really is.

Hi,

Native, stand alone installer for GRASS should be a high priority. I guess
we need both an XP and Vista version.
personally I have no problem with osgeo4w installer. Ideally should be mentained both - standalone and osgeo4w - if we have enough manpower.
If no, I would incline to osgeo4w.

I can only repeat that the two are not opposed, but that you can create a standalone installer on the basis of osgeo4w:

AFAICT, you just need to create the .bat file mentioned in the QGIS blog and you have a clickable installer.
