[Qgis-user] Corporate Users

Mon Nov 7 06:20:00 PST 2016

Sorry for answering this mail this late; I'm at a GIS conference and not in
my office.

When the problem about missing dll's pop up, I usally solve this by finding
the missing dll's in c:\windows\system32 on the computer where I first made
the "regular" installation and copy them to the <qgis program
directory>\bin  directory - before you do the roll-out on the end users
pc's.

It's 2 files - and I can't recall the specific names for the dll's, but the
error messages wil give you the exact names for them.

There is a small caveat: I'f you're preparing a 32 bit QGIS installation on
a Windows 64 bit operating system, the relevant 32 bit dll's will be placed
in the C:\windows\syswow64 directory and *not* the c:\windows\system32
directory

It's not my experience, that you have to register the specific dll's to get
them to load and work. It might have something to with the placement of the
dll's in the qgis bin directory and not a common system owned directory
like C:\windows\system32

I'll find the names for the dll's and update my github readme to reflect
this extra catch and the workaround (In the evening after the conference
ends ;-)

Regards

Bo Victor Thomsen
