[udig-devel] Re: [Geotools-devel] osgeo4w - udig - geotools & geoserver

So there is no uninstall; but you can run it again and it remembers what has been done. I was able to install the JRE entry you placed in there...
it looks like java was installed into "C:\OSGeo4W\bin"

Oh wait it was installed into the "root" C:\OSgeo4W" location; ie...
C:\OSGeo4W\bin has java
C:\OSGeo4W\lib has the lib jars,
C:\OSGeo4W\lib\ext has the imageio etc...

There is no -vm parameter for uDig to tell it to use this Java hense the JAI warning.

uDig still starts up with the JAI warning...

Jody, could you please test the installer and tell me if for udig
That is a pretty sweet installer; I do wish the default download directory was a bit smarter (it tried downloading into my program files thunderbird directory, rather than my desktop or documents directory ...) Suppose they are hoping you downloaded it and then ran it; rather than the way thunderbird and firefox work where they start the process off for you...

I don't quite understand the way connections work here - I check udig; and it automatically lists 1.6.0_05-1 (not sure where the -1 comes from - probably because I had a download with that name already?) Also uDig includes its own Java does it not? So the JRE above is not needed....

Once you make it to the "Select Packages" page you cannot go back; it tends to do a progress bar; screw up and then return you to the same page. Cancel works however.

Express Install does not work; checking GDAL and pressing NEXT produces a bunch of warnings about "Un met Dependencies Found" (for curl, expat, geos, hdf4 etc...). Pressing BACK from the Express Install takes you to the same broken Select Packages screen.

It would be very handy for the imageio-ext people to get on this train as well; it is part of the fun we are having when setting up our own JRE.

If I stop trying to get GDAL going and just choose uDig from the Select packages menu; and uncheck the Java line that is automatically turned on it seems to download stuff just fine! It was interesting that the download was a udig-1.1rc14.tar.bz2 - this must of been a package you made up? Oh wait now it is installing - seems to be going well.

I asked it to create an item on my desktop and on my start menu, after installation I can see: - an OSGeo4W icon on my desktop; all it does is start a cmd prompt near as I can tell - the start menu also has an OSGeo folder; with a single entry to open a shell

So we need to make sure a uDig short cut is added here?
Chances are that these installers are tripping up over windows vista? If I navigate to C:\OSGeo4W\apps\udig I can find udig.exe sitting there; it does not have a jre included (is that sane?). I can run the application (I get a warning that JAI is not installed).

I can run Perhaps the dependency mentioned above includes JRE + ImageIO and JAI ? going to try uninstalling and trying again...

Wait there is no way to uninstall ...
