[Qgis-user] [Fwd: Problem at starting QGIS and atuninstallingthrough osgeo4w-setup]

[Gavin Fleming]

A slightly modified solution to installing QGIS from OSGeo4W (solved my problem below):

 

1) Download the whole OSGeo4W tree as shown on http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/InstallFromCD using rsyc, wget or other appropriate tool. This needs to be done only once for your organisation. (Make this available to other users via CD or file server, in which case get them to copy it locally.)

3) Run osgeo4w-setup.exe

4) Choose options as per http://sites.google.com/site/eospansite/qsig-for-windows  

Except: After choosing Advanced install, choose Install from Internet, leave root directory as default, then select your downloaded folder as Local Package Directory (e.g. E:\software\osgeo4w), then choose your internet connection method. Then proceed to choose your packages as before. 

 

The difference with this method is that the install will use local files if they are present, only downloading files it can't find, or more recent versions. And it seems to complete the installation properly. 

 

The problems in my mail below came from choosing "Install from local directory"

Seems to be related to Agus' problem: 

 

I downloaded the 'CD equivalent' from http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/wiki/InstallFromCD and have run the install locally, choosing QGIS and related plugins.

 

Several dependencies weren't automatically selected (GEOS, proj4, etc) so I went back and manually selected and installed them. However, it's now not able to find "proj_fw.dll" which is not evident anywhere in the install package. (The proj4 pakage is installed). So my install process has come to a halt. 

 

Also, from the package names it appears that it's still only QGIS 1 preview 2 that's in OSGeo4W. Or is it the full QGIS 1.0?

 

thanks

Hi!

 

After around 30 installations of QGIS using osgeo4w

according to directions in:

http://sites.google.com/site/eospansite/qsig-for-windows

(please notify of any improvements that should be done)

 

I've found only 1 case with a major problem (Win XP machine)

and I would most appreciate your help.

 

At starting QGIS, the following message is displayed and the program

does not start:

"Error at starting the program because jpeg_osgeo.dll could not be

found. Reinstaling the program could solve the problem"

(this is my own translation of the original message in Spanis:

"Error al iniciar la aplicación porque no se encontró jpeg_osgeo.dll. La

reinstalación de la aplicación puede solucionar el problema")

 

(I was not present while the student made the actual installation, so

cannot guarantee that he followed the directions above strictly).

 

The problem is that we have tried to uninstall through osgeo4w-setup

but don't get to make a complete uninstall, there are always

remaining items. We've uninstalled as much as we could, and installed

again, but the problem remains.

 

Could you advice on how to proceed for a complete removal and subsequent

successful installation?

 

Thanks

 

Agus
