[Qgis-developer] Windows Standalone Install Will Not Run onFreshly Imaged Computers

[Tim Sutton]

Hi 

Also be sure to install QGIS 1.3.0-3 (available on the QGIS website - earlier builds had a problem with the gdal python bindings which may result in some plugins not working correctly.

Regards

Tim

Thanks Frank. You were right!

This begs the question: "Why don't the standalone installers include
these runtime libraries?"

Bob,

The OSGeo4W install includes installing the visual studio runtime which
is required by a variety of things.

The QGIS download page mentions:

Note: You may need to install the Microsoft C Runtime Libraries too. If
QGIS 
does not start, get the MSVC libs from here and install them before
trying to 
run QGIS again.

Damn runtimes!

Best regards,
