In now creates a OSGeo4W folder and points postinstall batch files to it via OSGEO4W_DESKTOP - but not all OSGeo4W packages respect that (eg. QGIS does & SAGA do, GRASS doesn't). There also OSGEO4W_DESKTOP_LINKS that tells postinstall batches whether or not they should create desktop links at all. > However, I continue to use the OSGeo4W installer, and I still get the folder > on my desktop (its name is a URL-encoded form of > http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w).

Check last-cache in %OSGEO4W_ROOT%/etc/setup/setup.rc Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
