Shell is only a skeleton, there are no applications installed. So to get something actually useful:

>apt available

For the hasty, the following will give you a working GDAL 1.6 command line shell with python on a new machine in 2 minutes, assuming a fast connection to the download mirror. It's the same as the above, without the progress messages.

set osgeo4w_root=c:\o4w
apt setup
apt install shell gdal16 gdal16-python
c:\o4w\osgeo4w.bat
gdal16.bat
