[Qgis-user] Unable to load project

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,
Simply because the express desktop will usually install most of what I need.   As I also need special packages and libraries for programming in python, I usually add those after.  I just got used to do it like and as I often do the install on multiple computers, I find it a little bit faster.

I presume this is documented somewhere and will try to sort through all that when I get time.  This is a good example of why I am reluctant to wade into the upgrade end of the pool.  Workload well out of proportion to the presumed benefits.

>>> I believe the express install will only install the latest stable 3.x version (select Express Desktop Install.  The Express Web-GIS install option is for a web server).  The Advance Osgeo will add options.
>>> a) Select "Advanced Install"
>>> b) Select  "Install from the Internet"
>>> c) Select the Root Directory (C:\OSGeo4W64 is suggested.  I would not change it.  If you do, make sure you have no space " "or funny character like in "c:\José Qgis installation").  This is where the program file will be placed.
>>> d) Select Install for "All Users" and "Create icon on Desktop" and "Start Menu".
>>> e) Local Package Directory will be offered.   "C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Temp" .  Don't need to change it.  That is where the installation files will be downloaded.
>>> f) Select the Internet Connection. Default is "Direct Connection".
>>> g)Choose a Download site.  Default is http:/download.osgeo.org.
>>> h) Look at the final screen shot I sent you.  I you select "desktop", you will see current version  number (if installed) and the new version number.  Select "qgis: QGIS Desktop" for 3x or "qgis: qgis-ltr-full." for 2.x.  Or both.  Other packages will be selected for you (like Saga, Grass.) Do not deselect them.  You will also need to accept all licences  during the install and you will probably be asked to add extra packages along the way. Accept them.
