Description

Hello,

I have a client who recently updated QGIS to 2.18 and now multiple project files crash when opening. We fully uninstalled and re-installed 2.14 but the crashing persists. See attached for the resulting error in Event Viewer and for where the project is loading when it crashes. Crashes at "Loading layer BRA Site Radius."

Any advice would be appreciated as my client is trying to avoid rebuilding the affected projects.

Thanks.

(backup and) delete the .qgis2 folder, then restart qgis and try again. Also try clean the QGIS Windows registry entries.

Thanks for the quick reply! Once I can get connected to the PC again, I'll try this and let you know.

I backed up and deleted .qgis2 in the appdata folder.
Relaunched the program and tried loading one of the projects.
This seems to have no effect. Project is still crashing.

"Also try clean the QGIS Windows registry entries."

Were there specific paths? I'd imagine deleting all I can find would effectively uninstall QGIS.

no, it will leave QGIS in a state as if it was installed for the first time on the system.
