Hi Thayer,
Over the past years my experience with the regular .msi (straight from
https://www.qgis.org/nl/site/forusers/download.html) have been better
than the OSGEO4W installer, for the same reasons ("DLL hell" ) you mention.
And that was even on "real" windows machines, not on emulated
Windows-on-a-mac
Especially if you just need plan QGis, and not the side-tools like
gdal/ogr , grass etc.
Kind regards,
Gert-Jan

I am wondering if someone can please recommend the installation for
Windows 10 that has the lowest barrier to success? I need to make a
recommendation to a client on how to install it on Windows. I had
trouble a month or so ago with the OSGEO4W installer recently saying
that I don't have the right DLLs in place, despite my efforts to
install using the same method I have always used on Windows. I am
using OSGEO4W to install QGIS on an emulated Windows on an Intel Mac
that has older versions of QGIS installed. None of the QGIS version
work anymore for the same reason. Maybe Windows is unhappy with my not
updating Windows recently enough? I have seen fairly complicated
looking solutions posted to the Github page for other users with
similar errors, though not the same DLLs. Thanks in advance for any
advice. My apologies for not doing more legwork before writing to the
list.
