This message is telling you that QGIS cannot find qgis_app.dll on any of
the paths of the PATH variable defined in the listed .env file.

Hi Stewart,
the error doesn't say that QGIS cannot "find" qgis_app.dll, but that QGIS cannot "load" qgis_app.dll. This means that there is an issue in qgis_app.dll or in one or more dll that qgis_app.dll depends on or that one or more dll that qgis_app.dll depends on are missing in the path defined in qgis-ltr-bin.env (if present).

Well, burned by a QGIS installation again, and this time a LTR version late in 
the game.

The latest QGIS 3.22.8 and QGIS 3.26.0 OSGeo4W Standalone Installers for Windows suffer of the "could not load qgis_app.dll" issue, on some specific system, already reported multiple times e.g. in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/49148 and https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/49159.

Usually this issue is preceded by a crssync.exe error during the installation procedure. Did this error also occur?

In such systems, the issue is due to the tiledb.dll library which was built with the AVX2 x86 instruction set extension. Such library will not load if the CPU doesn't have the AVX2 x86 instruction set extension.

What is exactly your CPU?
Does it support the AVX2 instruction set extension? If not, then it's very likely the issue is due to tiledb.dll.

Anyway the issue with the tiledb.dll library has been fixed in the OSGeo4W repository. So, if your CPU doesn't support AVX2, then you could install QGIS LTR (3.22.8) using the OSGeo4W Network Installer.

If your CPU does support AVX2, but the qgis-ltr-bin.env file was not correctly created during the installation procedure, then you could find useful this comment https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/49148#issuecomment-1174459434

With us it was a opencl.dll which is wrongly copied/not removed by Windows (see 
links in the post).

Hi Richard,
see also the previous response to Jeff Sonnentag.



Best regards.
