Description

Version 2.18.11 does not install properly. The qgis.bat file instead of setting the links for the start menu, such as QGIS Desktop/Browser etc. it deletes them. I have tried many times and it simply doesn't work. Also i will get a message that i already have the version on my computer when in fact it's been uninstalled.

I have attached my postinstll.log file and the qgis.bat file which is a tmpl file. I am not an advanced user in terms of QGIS. If anyone has insights please let me know.

Of course is very likely to be a local issue. Meanwhile give a try to the osgeo4w installer.

Hi Giovanni,

I tried the osgeo4w installer, and i am getting the same things. The applications are not in the start menu, and i am getting a message saying it cannot find qgis_core / qgis_gui. However the files are in the bin. Also the bat file is still in tmpl. format.

Hi,
well this seems to confirm you have a local issue. This is not the case for the vast majority of users, of course. Try check if you have a particular aggressive antivirus (for example) that may block part of the installation.
