<p>Hi Thayer, <br>
</p>
<p>Over the past years my experience with the regular .msi (straight
from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.qgis.org/nl/site/forusers/download.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.qgis.org/nl/site/forusers/download.html</a>)
have been better than the OSGEO4W installer, for the same reasons
("DLL hell" ) you mention.<br>
And that was even on "real" windows machines, not on emulated
Windows-on-a-mac</p>
<p>Especially if you just need plan QGis, and not the side-tools
like gdal/ogr , grass etc.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Kind regards, <br>
</p>
<p>Gert-Jan<br>

<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I am wondering if someone can
please recommend the installation for Windows 10 that has the
lowest barrier to success? I need to make a recommendation to
a client on how to install it on Windows. I had trouble a
month or so ago with the OSGEO4W installer recently saying
that I don't have the right DLLs in place, despite my efforts
to install using the same method I have always used on
Windows. I am using OSGEO4W to install QGIS on an emulated
Windows on an Intel Mac that has older versions of QGIS
installed. None of the QGIS version work anymore for the same
reason. Maybe Windows is unhappy with my not updating Windows
recently enough? I have seen fairly complicated looking
solutions posted to the Github page for other users with
similar errors, though not the same DLLs. Thanks in advance
for any advice. My apologies for not doing more legwork before
writing to the list.</div>
