Description

Newly installed QGIS 3.4.4 fails to start. Error message says to check qgis-bin-g7.env for path settings. Looking at the file it does seem that something has gone wrong in the installation. I will uninstall and try again, and then report whether this solves the problem.

The problem seems to be that I have installed the program in the programs folder (C:\Program files\). Apparently the space in the folder name is the problem. The folder name is set by Win10, and works fine with all other installed programs. I have now installed in the root of the C-drive, and now it works.

I do (and supervise doing) a lot of standalone and osgeo4w installations, and can't confirm that installing in C:\Program files\ is a problem.

A thorough uninstall and reinstallation has solved the problem, so something must have gone wrong in the original installation.
