Hi Sam,

I think you have to uninstall the previous installation of QGIS in Add
/ Remove or in Uninstall QGIS (I am not using Windows right now so I
don't exactly know). If not remove manually the QGIS directory and
install again.

QtCore4.dll is Qt library for Qt window toolkit which included in
QGIS. QGIS will not work without the dynamic library.

FWTools is not part of the QGIS, you don't probably need it if you
have work the org2org.exe program in gdal already.
