[osgeo4w-dev] Problems re-installing on WinXP 64

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi Ivan,

I use osgeo4w on win64 and have had different versions of gdal installed
at the same time. In my experience so far as long as I start from the 
osgeo4w shell everything works, though I've not tried any java. Perhaps 
in your uninstall/reinstall the osgeo4w command shell link was not 
updated to the new location?

I do have to be careful that there are no gdal/python settings in the 
permanent environment pointing to the wrong version. Run "set" with no 
parameters from the shell. Settings to watch for cross contamination 
include:

   FWTOOLS_ROOT
   GDAL_DATA
   GEOTIFF_CSV
   OSGEO4W_ROOT
   PATH
   PROJ_LIB
   PYTHONPATH
   PYTHON_INCLUDE
   PYTHON_LIB
