[Qgis-user] Installing downloaded plugins (OSGeo4W install-download)

Fri Feb 11 03:50:15 PST 2022

Hi Mike,
I can ensure you I installed QGIS on various PCs (Win10 and WIN11) within less than 90mins using latest OSGeo4W installer having 50mBit/s Downstream 10Mbit/s Upstream and from local German norbit.de mirror. From osgeo.org it takes about 2hrs. Same on Win7 but a while ago. Having enough bandwith is the key.

Greetings,

After 15 hours of download/installing and 4 error messages the process is finished.
There were 7 shortcuts installed on my desktop but I cannot find the executable to start the program.
I also checked the install directory but cannot find a way to launch the program.
What a waste of time and all because I missed the QGIS 3.22.3 warning about Win 7 incompatibility.

It's back to ArcView 3.2 for me!

AFAIK, if you need to use QGIS on Windows 7, you could use QGIS 3.16.16 installing it via the old OSGeo4W Network Installer (v1) or the OSGeo4W Standalone Installer (.exe).

Regards.
