After updating qGIS to mimas, the python, qGIS and EV applications did not
open. <br>
<br>
I uninstalled all of the OSGeo4W stack 'o programs, then downloaded a new
OSGeo4w setup and ran it twice, as express and as detailed option where I
checked reinstall for everything. <br>
<br>
I opened this to test: <br>
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin\ Pythonwin.exe <br>
and got an error <br>
>error . Error could not locate component msvcr71.dll <br>
1. msvcr71.dll <br>
Fixed by finding msvcr71.dll in
'C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin' and Copied to
c:\Windows\System32 <br>
<br>
But this did not allow python to work <br>
>> error . the application can not locate win32ui.pyd(or Python)(126) the
specifiedd module could not be found. <br>
<br>
So far, I have done three workarounds from web searching for fixes <br>
<br>
1.copy pythoncom25.dll and pywintypes25.dll into c:\windows\system32 <br>
2.downloaded pywin32-214.win32-py2.5.exe, ran in
C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python25\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin <br>
3.downloaded vcredist_x86.exe and repaired c++ runtime lib <br>
<br>
<br>
Then I found this <br>
Found out that Python 2.5.2 (which comes with osgeo4w) does not work with 64bit
Vista, you have to use at least Python 2.6 (or 2.6.1), I do not recommend
Python 3.x because it is not backward compatible with previous releases. <br>
<br>
My questions are: <br>
<br>
Does deleting the osgeo4w folder really uninstall the software or is there
something else I need to do? <br>
<br>
Is there a guide for installing python v 2.6+ without using the osgeo4w
installer? <br>
<br>
What is pythonpath and what do I do with it? <br>
<br>
I will be grateful for any advice! <br>
In the hopes of a sure and certain fix, <br>
<br>
