<div>Hi,</div>
<div>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.</div>

<br>
Thanks for those instructions, likely will save me
considerable time. Your instructions seem quite
straightforward but just curious why you would not skip the
express desktop install and go straight to the advanced
install directly?<br>
<br>
Thanks again…<br>

<li>Regarding the versions, things are not actually
as I imagine. My assumption that higher numbers
indicate a newer version appears to be incorrect.
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.</li>

The Osgeo4w installer makes this easy for you.<br>

<li>Where is the logic here - "so actually it would

They are not numbers. Logic is found here: <a

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.<br>
a) Select "Advanced Install"<br>
b) Select "Install from the Internet"<br>
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.<br>
d) Select Install for "All Users" and "Create icon on
Desktop" and "Start Menu".<br>
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.<br>
f) Select the Internet Connection. Default is "Direct
Connection".<br>
g)Choose a Download site. Default is <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http:/download.osgeo.org" moz-do-not-send="true">http:/download.osgeo.org</a>.<br>
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. <br>
<br>
For me, the normal procedure on a new computer is to start
with an Express Desktop Install. Then, I do an "advance
Install" to add extra packages or different versions of
QGIS.<br>
