E: [Qgis-user] [Fwd: Problem at starting QGIS and, atuninstallingthrough osgeo4w-setup]

[Agustin Lobo]

Gavin,

But then, this is not an unattended install any more, you still require
an internet connection. In order to avoid
confusion, I prefer my students to follow directions assuming they
have a live connection to internet during the whole process.
We've had only 1 failure out of more than 30. Unfortunately, still
have found no way to solve it.
Thanks for keeping us posted on your experiences with osgeo4w installations.

Agus

> A slightly modified solution to installing QGIS from OSGeo4W (solved my problem below):

> 
> 1) Download the whole OSGeo4W tree as shown on http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/InstallFromCD using rsyc, wget or other appropriate tool. This needs to be done only once for your organisation. (Make this available to other users via CD or file server, in which case get them to copy it locally.)

> Except: After choosing Advanced install, choose Install from Internet, leave root directory as default, then select your downloaded folder as Local Package Directory (e.g. E:\software\osgeo4w), then choose your internet connection method. Then proceed to choose your packages as before.

> The difference with this method is that the install will use local files if they are present, only downloading files it can't find, or more recent versions. And it seems to complete the installation properly.
