Introduction

This page discusses a possible OSGeo Binary Distribution and Installer of software for MS Windows (aka Win32). It is a specific case of the OSGeo Binary Distribution which we hope might get going soon.

Goals

General goals:

  • Include a wide variety of OSGeo packages.
  • Painless installation
  • Select desired packages only, and pull in dependencies automatically.

General Plan

Morph MS4W to use a nicer installer front end (instead of just zip files) and to include more packages.

Participants

  • Jeff McKenna: MS4W Maintainer
  • Frank Warmerdam: FWTools
  • Mateusz Loskot (maintain GDAL related components)

Technical Notes

  • MS4W Home
  • Paul Ramsey notes that for installation in corporate environments it can be very helpful to provide MSI files, and to support non-interactive distribution.
  • Markus Neteler mentioned that WinGRASS is now in RC1.
