The reason I use the OSGEO4W installer is for that very reason, if
you wish to update, you use the installer again, and you don't need
to do steps 1 to 5.<br>
a lot of the issues stem from the fact that people are using QGIS in
conjunction with other software (GRASS and SAGA etc) keeping the
links correct when using standalone installers will always be
hardest. I liken it to trying to get ArcGIS model builder tools
working with MapInfo or vice versa.<br>
The OSGEO installer installs everything in a single directory with a
similar structure. Makes the whole process a lot easier.<br>

Please see below, <br>
In my experience, if you want QGIS to work within Windows with
some stability with GRASS and SAGA you need to use the OSGEO4W
installer not the standalone.
<ol>
<li>Backup python
Plugins(C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\qgis\python\plugins for Python
Plugins)</li>
<li>Delete the OSGEO4W folder </li>
<li>If you have other versions of the software installed via
standalone installers, uninstall all the Programs
(QGIS,GRASS, SAGA etc)</li>
<li>Run a search for QGIS and delete any other folders
(besides your Backup...be careful)<br>
</li>
<li>If you don't have ccleaner or similar install it, click
on Registry (Left icon second from top), Scan for issues
& then Fix selected issues, repeat untill there are no
issues.</li>
<li>Download most recent version of OSGEO4W installer (not
standalone QGIS installer see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/">http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/</a>
)</li>
<li>Do a standard Desktop instillation, It will install QGIS
GRASS SAGA and uDig, R should also be installed (Im open
to correction)</li>
<li>When you have finished over wright the plugins folder
with the backup.</li>
<li>Now you may have some issues initially, but redirecting
is easy enough, just direct everything to the
corresponding OSGEO4W folder.</li>
</ol>
<p>This is what I remember having to do with my last
instillation, I cant currently verify the above, as I don't
have sufficient rights on my Work PC at present. <br>
Contact me if you run into any issues!<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,<br>

<span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">I started to
use QGIS 2.2.0 Valmiera last year and since my first
installation it never installed GRASS and SAGA correctly
(their shortcut never appeared correctly and never
worked, therefore I could never use those applications
inside QGIS) . At that time I was using Windows 8. When
I started QGIS it appeared a dialogue box saying «QGIS
couldn't find your GRASS installation.</span>
<p style="font-size:12.8000001907349px;margin:0px">Would
you like to specify path (GISBASE) to your GRASS
installation?». And inside QGIS, SAGA and GRASS
algorithms never worked properly. With the new releases
of QGIS 2.4.0 Chugiak and 2.6.0 Brighton, when
uninstalling, it would uninstall and install normally,
however, always telling me that the previous version was
already installed at the time of the installation,
although I uninstalled it previously.<br>
</p>
<span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Early this
year, I bought a new computer (which came with Windows
8.1 Single Language) and I installed QGIS 2.8.1 Wien in
first place (the first app to be installed right when I
bought the computer, after the anti-virus, of course)
and for my joy, it installed GRASS and SAGA correctly
and was working very well, in such way that I was very
happy with it. However, on the 25th of May, I
uninstalled the 2.8.1 version and installed the 2.8.2,
but for my displeasure, the GRASS and SAGA plugins were
not properly installed again.</span><br

<div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">I went to the
QGIS project website looking for solutions and I found a
page saying that I should specify the path for the
''.exe'', but in the program folder there is no
executor file. I even installed GRASS independently
again and in the new installation folder there is no
''.exe'' either. When I install SAGA independently it
does not work with QGIS.<br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Another strange
thing is that after I have uninstalled the 2.8.1 version
and tried to install the 2.8.2, for the first time when
installing it appeared the information of skipping all
the folder creations and extractions, and at the end it
said that QGIS was installed but the application did not
exist in my computer. When I installed for the second
time, it extracted and created the folders, and when
finished QGIS was in my computer. Attached you may find
the file it produced in the first attempt. <br>
