Presumed to be solved by new deployment strategies (e.g., binaries or dockerized source). Confirm and then close.
If the user already has GDAL installed on the machine, the Docker based method is highly recommended. Because docker provides a fully self-contained environment (furthermore it is ubuntu based container), it never interferes with the already installed software or packages.
When we run windows_install.bat, I believe it is installing several (or at least) GDAL in python 2.7 because of BigTiff issues with later versions. This is ok in theory but as executed this leads to a python 2.7 conflict with ArcGIS (making scripts in GIS not work). This issue is likely resolved by changing the installer such that it does not automatically update the PATH variable.
