Ok - I've added some extra information to the GitHub description of the alternative installation method:
" https://github.com/Frederikssund/Alternativ-QGIS-installation/blob/master/Readme%20-%20english.md " " During the ordinary Qgis installation two dll - files is copied to directory C:\Windows\System32. The files are Microsoft basic support files that is used by Qgis. To ensure that the files are present in subsequent Qgis installations the files has to be copied from C:\Windows\System32 to the Qgis program directory, subdirectory \bin, ex. "C:\Program Files\QGIS 2.18\bin\" The names of the two files is msvcp120.dll and msvcr120.dll, if the version of Qgis is 2.18. For earlier Qgis the names *might* be msvcp110.dll / msvcr110.dll or msvcp100.dll / msvcr100.dll. NB! If a Qgis 32 bit version is prepared using a Windows 64 bit PC, the dll files has to be copied from directory C:\Windows\SysWOW64 - *not* C:\Windows\System32. " I've checked that both QGIS 2.18 and 2.16 and Grass 7 are working if you move the aforementioned dll's from C:\windows\system32 to the \bin subdir of the Qgis program directory. So the method will work for these versions of Qgis and Grass. Regards Bo Victor Thomsen 2016-11-07 17:33 GMT+01:00 Jürgen E. Fischer <[email protected]>: > Hi Bo, > > On Mon, 07.
