Package: gdalraster.windows 0.3.1
gdalraster.windows: Windows GDAL Runtime and gdalraster Bootstrap Tools
Installs and activates a self-contained GDAL runtime on Windows and provides helpers to install gdalraster from source against that GDAL instead of the default Rtools GDAL.

Architecture
The root problem | Toolchain stack | Why gdalraster must be rebuilt from source | Key build flags | Dependency closure: collect_dlls.sh | Runtime activation: why loading needs help | The embedded Python layer | Compile-time vs runtime paths | Reproducing the bundle | Upstream references

Troubleshooting
Baseline triage | gdal_global_reg_names() returns character(0) | LoadLibrary failure when loading gdalraster | LoadLibrary failure: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed | install_gdal_runtime(overwrite = TRUE) cannot delete the old runtime | ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'osgeo_utils' | CRS / projection errors despite GDAL loading | Download failures during install_gdal_runtime() | install_gdalraster() reports "source install did not produce an installed package" | After a GDAL version upgrade
