I spent an afternoon trying in vain to get QGis running on a Windows
Server 2008 r2 virtual machine. Tried:
- Version 2.12 64 and 32 bit
- Version 2.8 LTR 64 bit
In all cases, there is an error about "File in use" in the installation
dialog with no further details. The installation does complete with no
obvious error messages.
When I try to run QGis desktop it traps to the Windows error pop-up at the
"Initializing GUI" phase. Same with all three attempts.
I did find plenty of discussion about 32 bit DLLs, Microsoft C++ runtime,
etc., but my impression is that this was relative to versions older than
the one I'm trying.
One pertinent fact might be that I'm connecting via RDP from another
machine. Is it possible that the GUI is having issues with that?
I don't have any choice regarding the environment, unfortunately, but
would really like to get it running there somehow.
Any suggestions for trouble-shooting this? I'm very experienced with
chasing down system issues on Linux, but know very little about Windows
(I'd like to run the Linux version, but we're stuck at RedHat EL6 and I
cannot find any 2.x builds for that platform).
