Sorry to come back to this issue after one week, but I could not have a
look to it before this week-end.
Grass 6.4.0svn and QGIS Kore and Mimas are now working well. After
those trials, I understand that the osgeo4w installer is still to
improve as long as one needs special instructions and sequence to reach
the target. It is highly recommended to follow Agus'instructions
faithfully rather than to use osgeo4w.exe with the "express install"
option, or to mess with the custom installation.
There is still odd things happening however (but they do'nt prevent
working):
- For the daily work, I use Windows XP under an account that gives me
limited rights (a behaviour inherited from Linux experience) working
with administrator rights just to install softwares, etc. I have been
said that it is could practise regarding security issues. Also, system
and programmes are on C:/ but user accounts are on U:/. I have been
surprised to see that, after having been installed, QGIS at start up
under the administrator account displays a box full of messages about
python (see below), and then works well with all functionalities... I do
not have this box when working under my limited account: QGIS starts
normally straight with all functionnalities.
- when installing QGIS 1.3.0.1 according to Agus'instructions, I could
not find grass-gdal-plugins in the section "libs" nor anywhere else.
However, before starting installation, in a dialog box , I have been
offered to install QGIS 1.0 and dependencies: grass-gdal-plugin and
another one I did not take note. So, now I have the two versions
installed (and working), and it seems that the installer found the
grass-gdal-plugins lib... when I could not. However, it is quite
disturbing to get this invitation about installing QGIS 1.0 when you
have specified before that you want to install QGIS 1.3.0.1 (for a
non-specialist there is always the doubt that QGIS 1.0 install is
necessary to get QGIS 1.3.0.1 working...).
Best,
Patrick
