<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>>I would suggest two installers: one for GRASS alone, and one for the<BR>various dependencies (PROJ, GDAL, MSys, ...). The idea is that you<BR>shouldn't have to download all of the dependencies each time a new<BR>version of GRASS is released.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>we could do as follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>1. a *complete*, *first time* GRASS installer, based on latest release, with all the dependencies built-in</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>2. and *updater*, installed along the *first installation*, that check the WinGRASS repository looking for last GRASS updates, and download/install only the latest updated files (both for GRASS and dependencies). It would be not an easy work, but I think that I'll can do it... even if not very soon :-)</FONT></DIV>
