[Qgis-user] Will not run on Windows Server 2008 r2

[Steven Hirsch]

Sorry to post this again, but is there no one among the developers able to 
assist in troubleshooting?  Any and all attempts at installing on this VM 
result in a non-functional application.  Tried 2.8 LTR and 2.12, 32 and 64 
bit.  Same symptoms:

- Brief message about "..file in use" during install with no other detail.

- QGis desktop traps to Windows crash dialog while splash screen is 
displaying a message about "initializing GUI".

FWIW, ESRI ArcMap 10.1 is running fine on this machine.  We have a limited 
number of ESRI license available, so gaining the ability to read GDB files 
in QGIS would be quite helpful.

I'm a software developer with good system troubleshooting skils - on 
Linux.  My knowledge of Windows is somewhat cursory, but with a few 
concrete suggestions I'll be glad to do some forensics.

Alternately, if anyone can point me to a 2.12 build for Centos 6.x that 
would work.
