it would be good to identify and fix this sporadic problem. Sometime the apt command line installer will reveal messages that the regular installer gobbles up:

I can't get OSGeo4W to work on a 64-bit machine at all.  Here are the
steps I take

    Delete existing C:/OSGeo4W
    Download and run osgeo4w-setup.exe
    Select express install and uncheck all packages but GDAL
    Select install
    Start an OSGeo4W shell
    Run "gdalinfo"

I then get

    "The application has failed to start because ogdi_32b1.dll was not
    found."

Other observations:

* the above steps work OK on a 32-bit machine

* the installation appeared to install only 2 gdal packages (3 dlls).
    On the 32-bit machine several packages were installed alongside gdal
    (45 dlls).

It seems that the whole dependency mechanism is non-functional on
64-bit machines?

Any help would be appreciated.
