Description
Has been tried with the OSGeo4W-Installer as well as with single QGIS-Installers of various versions (2.2 down to 1.8), all reveal the same error.
Packages are downloaded and installed correctly, postinstallation error messages appear:
Package: setup
setup.bat exit code 1
Package: pyqt4
pyqt4.bat exit code 1
Package: sip
sip.bat exit code 1
Therefore pyqt4.bat, setup.bat and sip.bat are not executed correctly and some bat-files (such as qgis.bat) remain *.bat.tmp. When starting them manually "qgis_core.dll" cannot be found. Consequently, the shortcuts and menu entries are not created.
I have investigated this some more and found that the "replacetext" command cannot be executed by the scripts mentioned above. Altough it is in the \\bin-folder the three scripts cannot find them and cause the exit code 1.
I have tried anything to make it work but I always get to the same result that the installation seems to be good to a degree of about 98% but still the programm fails to work properly.
Greets and thanks in advance.

I found out that the "replacetext" command in setup.bat, pyqt4.bat and sip.bat works, but they can't find the OSGEO4W_ROOT and OSGEO4W_ROOT_MSYS variables. Maybe I could pre-set them as environment variables before the Installation but I'm not completely sure which paths to enter for each.
Any ideas how to solve this? It can't be much, because all other parts are installed correctly.

Also affects Version 2.4.0 on Windows 7 (QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.4.0-1-Setup-x86_64.exe)

Thanks for posting. As in my case, the "textreplace" command is not recognized, thus failing all subsequent tasks such as the creation of shortcuts and the performance of other setup tasks.

even before that, the command call "\\bin\\make-bat-for-py.bat" fails because it cannot find the given path. It should be call "bin\\make-bat-for-py.bat" (without the first backslash). I'm pretty sure all subsequent commands should not be beginning with a backslash either.

That's because even before that OSGEO4W_ROOT is empty. Really odd. Is your environment exceptionally big? Is there already a preset OSGEO4W_ROOT variable?

I wouldn't know how to judge whether my environment is exceptionally big. I have 21 variables defined. OSGEO4W_ROOT is not among them.

Is there any way of working around this problem? Perhaps by setting some environment variables manually before attempting to install?

Did you try OSGEO4W_ROOT already?

Setting the environment variable OSGEO4W_ROOT to C:\\Programme\\QGIS before the installation unfortunately seems to have no effect. Attached is a new postinstall.log, which seems to be identical to the previous one.
Any other ideas?

OK, I tried installing the 32bit version (QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.4.0-1-Setup-x86.exe) and it worked! So I guess the problem affects only the x64-version.
Interestingly, even after successful installation, no environment variable OSGEO4W_ROOT is set. Perhaps it is removed again after the installation?

It's never set globally - only in the environment of the stuff you start from OSGeo4W.
Can you reproduce the problem with 64bit on other machines?

thanks for your report, I'll give it a try.
