Yes, exactly Jody, the variables needed would be:


GDAL_DATA pointing to the "gdal_data" folder we placed inside the installation.
GDAL_DRIVER_PATH pointing to the jre\bin\ folder inside which we
placed the imageio-ext stuff.

By doing so we would be able to rename  udig_internal.exe to udig.exe
as people expect it to be. The downside is that if someone executes it
from the program files folder, he will miss the imageio-ext
dependencies.
So perhaps easy way to go is to just link to the bat file.

Ciao
Andrea
