Looking in /etc/postinstall/setup.bat is not using xxmklink correctly. Re-executing the command show the following output: {{{ C:\>xxmklink ""%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Setup.lnk"" ""%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\setup.bat -R %OSGEO4W_ROOT%"" """" """" ""Installer"" 1 ""%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\OSGeo4W.ico"" XXMkLink ver 1.00 (c)2005 Copyright Pixelab, Inc. The shortut created as follows Shortcut path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\OSGeo4W\ Setup.lnk Target object: C:\OSGeo4W\bin\setup.bat -R C:\OSGeo4W Arguments; Working Directory: Description: Installer Display Mode: Normal Window (1) Icon file: C:\OSGeo4W\OSGeo4W.ico }}} The arguments and work directory are not correctly set. Furthermore, the -R flag to osgeo4w-setup-work.exe appears to not start it up, so I'm not sure what it does. It might need to be left off. Here is my suggested fix for /etc/postinstall/setup.bat: {{{ xxmklink ""%OSGEO4W_STARTMENU%\Setup.lnk"" ""%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\setup.bat"" """" ""%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"" ""Installer"" 1 ""%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\OSGeo4W.ico"" }}} with output {{{ XXMkLink ver 1.00 (c)2005 Copyright Pixelab, Inc.
