Is there a possibility to use GDAL directly through MS_DOS? Most of the instructions I have seen requires one to install Python and its bindings.
Would it be possible to use GDAL after installing the self executable installation msi? Any other configuration steps required?
Thanks
Yes, GDAL is supported on Microsoft Windows. However, there are several different ways to install it; see the options at https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/2276/how-to-install-gdal-with-python-on-windows
The simplest way is to use OSGeo4w. To install a minimal GDAL command line setup, use the advanced mode of the installer to select one package: gdal. As some of the GDAL command line utilities are Python scripts, it will install its own version of Python as a dependency. After installation, use the OSGeo Shell from the Start menu for a command prompt.
