[Qgis-user] 1.1.0 Unstable - not a valid or recognized raster data source

[swapnil appa chaudhary]

Hi Darren, 
This problem exist with the standalone version of QGIS Kore and QGIS Pan, both. 
This issue has been already discussed for Win Vista and Win XP separately in QGIS forum. Have a look at the following links, 

http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4761

It seems can be solved by installing OSGeo installer than standalone. I've tried it and it does work. Well, it ain't the right way though. Raster and vector layers should open in GRASS plugin thr the QGIS. Lets hope it will get fixed in next stable version. 

Best, 
Swapnil

rasters:
OS = Windows vista,
Installed via standalone (internet connection is poor so this is the 
only option for me)
GRASS 6.4 - 
http://grass.itc.it/grass64/binary/mswindows/native/WinGRASS-6.4.0SVN-r38537-1-Setup.exe
QGIS 1.1.0 - http://download.osgeo.org/qgis/win32/QGIS-1.1.0-0-Setup.exe

When I start, QGIS can't find GRASS (GISBASE), so I manually point it to 
"C:\Program Files\QuantumGIS\grass".
Try to load a GRASS raster and now "C:/Users/Darren/Documents/GIS 
DataBase/test/PERMANENT/cellhd/comp543" is not a valid or recognized 
raster data source".

I had the same issue with QGIS 1.0.2-Kore. Uninstalled QGIS (via control 
panel - remove programs) and then installed 1.1.0......
So far everything else seems to be fine (projects open fine, GPS plugin 
etc). Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Darren
