[Qgis-developer] QGIS 0.9 on windows:QgsApplication.setPrefixPath() has an invalid type

[Jesse Ayers]

Success!  I went to a fresh XP machine, installed Python 2.5.1, PyQt4.2,
Tisham's latest 0.9.0 windows build and the basic main window tutorial
loaded.  There is obviously some PyQt version problem with that other
machine I was using earlier, but now I know what is needed.

Thanks all, now we can start testing here!

I'm affraid that something's wrong with your Qt / PyQt. Regarding to
the Qt docs, QStringRef class has been introduced in Qt 4.3, thus it's
hard to believe that older versions of Qt and PyQt could have the same
behaviour. Please check whether the older versions (Qt4.2.x) are not
mixed with newer (qt4.3) somehow.

However, it should be possible to use string() or toString() member
functions of QStringRef classes that will return a QString.
