Thanks Moritz,
I'm glad to see that this is possible at least, though it is by no
means obvious. I will try to find a place to archive this information
as I will be again doing a lab course later this spring. The fact that
critical information for creating a stand-alone package is buried in a
blog is problematic--though I know that all are very pressed for time.
What happens is you want to do 2 separate stand alone packages? Do the
libraries conflict? I'm just not well enough versed (i.e., ignorant)
in Windows, and especially Vista, to know about this.

It's the same problem I've face with the Cygwin version when trying
to use GRASS in university classroom labs. It would help to have
the option to install a package as stand alone.
Creating such standalone packages should not be too hard using
osgeo4w as a starting point. See

("How do I perform an offline or computer lab install?")
