[Qgis-user] qgis 2.18.3 not installing on win 10

[Michael.Dodd]

I tried uninstalling and installing again using the stand alone installer.  This gave the same error so I uninstalled it.


Then I tried the OSGEO4W installer but it did not install exactly where I asked it to, instead it made its own directory on Y (Y:\osgeo_download). It did start up once but after that it failed to start and instead gave the same error about missing .dll's even though they were present.  I think I had a problem similar to this several qgis versions ago but it was then resolved, now the issue seems to be back.


This is the \QGIS 2.18\bin\qgis.bat file:


@echo off
call "%~dp0\o4w_env.bat"
@echo off
path %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\bin;%PATH%
set QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT:\=/%/apps/qgis
set GDAL_FILENAME_IS_UTF8=YES
rem Set VSI cache to be used as buffer, see #6448
set VSI_CACHE=TRUE
set VSI_CACHE_SIZE=1000000
set QT_PLUGIN_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\qtplugins;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qt4\plugins
start "QGIS" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\bin\qgis-bin.exe %*

and this is the directory where the relevant .dll's are Y:\osgeo_download\apps\qgis\bin
but it says they are missing even though they are present in this directory.

You could try the OSGEO4W installer. It lets you choose the root
directory where everything is installed to.

Or have a look at \QGIS 2.18\bin\qgis.bat and o4w_env.bat. The variable
OSGEO4W_ROOT might be set wrongly. You get it when you type set inside
the OSGEO4W Shell. Override the definition if necessary.
