FW: [GRASS-user] unable to install Grass

[Jimmy Maro]

Dear all,

I m really struggling to install Grass on my PC!!!

I've tried leads provided below but it still won't work.

Error msg reads: 
"Unable to get setup.ini from <http://download.osgweo.org/osgeo4w>"

Could it have anything to do with the proxy server on my side. Pls advice??

Ta,
Jimmy

Consider to use the new OSGeo4W installer instead:
