Hello all again, I haven't had much of a response regarding this issue.
In case I didn't communicate this well before, the exact error I get when I run the osgeo4w-setup.exe installer file is: 'Program too big to fit in memory' (when dropped into the Command Line prompt). Or if I try it in Windows 7 proper, nothing happens at all. This is in a VDI environment, VM Ware View Client session (with 4GB RAM, 40GB space, Administrator rights). This is a bit of a showstopper for me as I cannot move on and do what I want to do. If this is a genuinely new issue that no one has seen before, is someone able to forward onto me a detailed OS requirements list for installing OSGeo4W so that I can try and pin-point the possible restriction and check these with my on-site support? Or going further, if it is simply down to the size of the installer, how easy is it to request a cut-down installer program? I need to install OSGeo4W with Command Line Utilities - GDAL, and python. Much appreciated, Ian ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ian Jones <imjne...@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 8:27 PM Subject: Re: osgeo4w-dev Digest, Vol 64, Issue 6 To: osgeo4w-dev@lists.osgeo.org Hi Alex, Thanks for replying. Yes, I have Administrator access, I have tried it with 2 different accounts and in a completely different session as well. Without any other apps on it. The local IT guy has looked at it as well but none-the-wiser. I have been able to install it ok to Windows 7 on a non-virtual, normal laptop.
