 the critical line in C:\OSGeo4W\bin\o4w_env.bat is

 {{{
 echo OSGEO4W home is %OSGEO4W_ROOT%
 }}}

 AFAIU the task of o4w_env.bat is to set the environment variables for
 different packages in OSGEO4W, I propose to delete this line of code in
 o4w_env.bat.

 thanks
 Helmut

 p.s. where can be o4w_env.bat found in the source:
