I know others are having this problem, but I have yet to stumble on the
solution.
I am trying to install QGIS 1.8 on my laptop (Windows 7-64 bit). Whether
I use the standalone QGIS installer or the OsGeo4w installer, the
procedure hangs during the postinstall stage here: "running postinstall
qgis-common.bat"
In the OsGeo4w installer it just freezes, but with the standalone
installer, I get a dialog box with the message "find string (qgrep)
utility has stopped working"
findstr shows up in Task Manager tying up 50 processes, and even after I
kill the installer and try to stop findstr in Task Manager, it keeps on
ticking for quite some time.
Later,
Dave
