Dear QGIS users My name is Evanilton Edgar Serrão Pires, I am an Environmental Engineering student and a QGIS user.
I started to use QGIS 2.2.0 Valmiera last year and since my first installation it never installed GRASS and SAGA correctly (their shortcut never appeared correctly and never worked, therefore I could never use those applications inside QGIS) . At that time I was using Windows 8. When I started QGIS it appeared a dialogue box saying «QGIS couldn't find your GRASS installation. Would you like to specify path (GISBASE) to your GRASS installation?». And inside QGIS, SAGA and GRASS algorithms never worked properly. With the new releases of QGIS 2.4.0 Chugiak and 2.6.0 Brighton, when uninstalling, it would uninstall and install normally, however, always telling me that the previous version was already installed at the time of the installation, although I uninstalled it previously. Early this year, I bought a new computer (which came with Windows 8.1 Single Language) and I installed QGIS 2.8.1 Wien in first place (the first app to be installed right when I bought the computer, after the anti-virus, of course) and for my joy, it installed GRASS and SAGA correctly and was working very well, in such way that I was very happy with it. However, on the 25th of May, I uninstalled the 2.8.1 version and installed the 2.8.2, but for my displeasure, the GRASS and SAGA plugins were not properly installed again. I went to the QGIS project website looking for solutions and I found a page saying that I should specify the path for the ''.exe'', but in the program folder there is no executor file. I even installed GRASS independently again and in the new installation folder there is no ''.exe'' either. When I install SAGA independently it does not work with QGIS. Another strange thing is that after I have uninstalled the 2.8.1 version and tried to install the 2.8.2, for the first time when installing it appeared the information of skipping all the folder creations and extractions, and at the end it said that QGIS was installed but the application did not exist in my computer. When I installed for the second time, it extracted and created the folders, and when finished QGIS was in my computer. Attached you may find the file it produced in the first attempt. I always install using the standalone-installer. If you need any further information, please let me know. What should I do? Is it normal for the software never be completely removed from the system? Please, I really would like to solve this issue. Hope to hear from you soon. QGIS is really good and useful, and I think we should promote its development. All the best to you guys
