Yes, that is a bug. I will see if I can fix it and release a patch over the weekend. Thanks for the feedback and let me know of any other issues! Jo Hi Bruce,

The only bug I found so far is the apache configure file http.conf. On my machine the drive is J: and I ran all the setup scripts but the last section of http.conf maps FWTools to drive F:. When I change that Xampplite starts fine. Thanks! Bruce Jo

They do need to be extracted. Having said that, my understanding is that gvSIG at least should run from whatever folder you want and I didn't make any changes to that! Let me know how you get on. Thanks Jo Hi Leszek,

That should detetct your drive letter and change it. Thanks Jo Hi Ronan,

With the GRASS problem- if you're running it off a stick is it a slow stick? I find that on one of mine (an old USB 1 stick) it takes several minutes for GRASS to kick in after the command window closes, but on a fast stick it should come up straight away. Can you also try it on the root of your C drive instead? The gvsig issue is odd because I didn't change anything in their portable edition at all, don't get that on my and can't see where that line would come from, so I guess I'll ask on their mailing list and post an update if necessary.

GRASS won't start; command window starts up then stops. gvSIG command window opens up, runs some commands, then gives the message 'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'. The latter can probably be solved by putting the file path in quotes. A couple of glitches on my system.
