[osgeo4w-dev] Setup problems on Win64 and Windows Server 2003

[Tamas Szekeres]

I'd add to my previous statements that the big setup cannot be
renamed. If I rename the file eg. to osgeo4w-setup1.exe then the
crashing issue is stepping up. The compressed version can be renamed
without problems though.

Best regards,

Tamas
