.. _avoid_spatialite_download_windows:

Avoiding the automatic download of SpatiaLite binaries on Windows
=================================================================

In this example, we show how to prevent Windows from downloading the SpatiaLite binaries automatically.

This may be relevant to users in corporate environments where the download and use of binaries to
the Windows temporary is restricted.
