 I've just tried the current installer (compressed) and the yesterday's
 version and both were working pretty well on my Win2003 x64 R2. I wonder
 why you've found such problems with the current version.

 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.

 I wonder if you have an opinions on why this might be? I'm getting the
 impression there is something that is corrupting the stack or heap in a
 subtle way and it is very sensitive to details of memory layout and code
 arrangement. But, I don't really know how to dig into the problem and try
 to resolve it.
