[Qgis-developer] Windows install now has .1 in install path?

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Richard,

I believe the installer was modified to use the release numbers, as 
there were issues with some characters in the release package name on 
Windows (such as "Nødebo"[1]).  Therefore we now have "C:/Program 
Files/QGIS 2.16.0"
