[Qgis-user] Very strange installation problem QGIS 3.20.3

[giskraft.se]

Hi Nicolas!
I appreciate you trying to help. 
For now, I’ll just relax and wait for a fix which will come eventually. I am not in the mood for guessing what the false error message is trying to say. 
And the OSGEO4W installer has a download cycle that takes hours, even on my 100 Mbit connection. And clutters my hard drive. Been there, won’t go again. 

Hälsning / Regards
Mats.E
