1. Re: windows 7 64bit qgis how to get it to install?

I have posted previously about installing QGIS on Windows 7. It isn’t a problem 
installing it, but to my knowledge the current built package only runs 32 bit, 
which for the processing power sometimes required is not utilising the full 
potential of the PC. I undertake work with some fairly big shape files and 
although my PC is a pretty high spec machine it struggles due to this issue.

Thanks

I did it a couple weeks ago, no problem.  Did you have a failure during the 
install, or was it a problem trying to launch QGIS?  I know you said during 
install, but thought I'd doublecheck :)

Have just tried this a couple more times and now it works, it seems one error 
was due to network and caching, other one was due to not having right bits 
installed along with main program dependencies or something missing (I am doing 
advanced install 1.9.9 not the standard version 1.7.3).
Actually remarkably easy, I was preparing for more difficulties!

I have QGIS (1.7.0) running on Windows 7 64 bit with no issues. I don't 
remember doing anything special during the install to get it to work. I used 
the "Standalone" installer from here:

The last time I tried (on somebody else Win 7 64 bit machine) it
installed and worked just fine.

Tested here on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1: GPS connecting and working!!

Great  :-)

Some general remarks (too small/general to make issues for it I think)
- it looks like it is a little slower now, can that be the 
gsp-handling/reading?
- sometimes the log messages window fills all screen with the yellow 
block with "x messages logged"
- some dialogs still have large fonts (seems to me often the secondary 
dialogs: dialogs that popup from another one, like when you select the 
edit widget type in the Fields tab of the layer props?), also the 'x 
messages logged' tips.
- bigger issues I will add in

I've been using the OSGeo4W installer on a few Win 7 and Windows Server 208
x64 systems.  No problems with installations on any of them.  Usually I
install the QGIS dev package as well, which gives me versions of 1.7, 1.8
and 1.9.  On occasion, something will not work on the 1.9 version and I
drop back to 1.7.  There are problems installing to Windows XP x64 though;
so I usually zip and copy my Win 7 installation to XP.  Works fine.
