[Qgis-user] Problems at installing python plugins on 1.3.0 Mimas Windows - Standalone

[Werner Macho]

Hi!

Yes ArcGIS brings it's own copy of Python with it (with ArcGIS 9.2 it is 
Python 2.4).
And of course ArcGIS sets the System wide Path to it's own version of 
Python.
Probably this PATH isn't cleaned out when uninstalling ArcGIS? I never 
tried it.

I'd recommend investigating the PATH and uninstalling the Python24 from 
ArcGIS also - if it doesn't get uninstalled automatically by cleaning 
out arcgis..

good luck
