History

#1 Updated by Borys Jurgiel about 13 years ago

Does the installer display any "gentle" error message prior to raising the error? It seems the plugin was successfully installed, but then qgis.utils fails to load it. Could you please look to the plugins directory and check if the plugin is there? If it's present, then the problem is in qgis.utils, otherwise in the installer.

#2 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 13 years ago

I no longer have a access to the win machines that threw the error. AFAIR:
  • no gentle error message
  • the plugin is there, just not loaded

#3 Updated by Borys Jurgiel about 13 years ago

Ok, than it's related to Python plugins paths, not to the installer.
Unfortunately also I have no access to an affected windows version.

#5 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 13 years ago

  • Target version set to Version 1.7.4

#6 Updated by Paolo Cavallini over 12 years ago

  • Crashes QGIS or corrupts data set to No
  • Affected QGIS version set to master
  • Target version changed from Version 1.7.4 to Version 1.8.0

#7 Updated by Steve Tracik over 12 years ago

Still doesn't work in the 1.8.0 version (and MASTER version)

#8 Updated by Paolo Cavallini about 12 years ago

  • Target version changed from Version 1.8.0 to Version 2.0.0

#9 Updated by Minoru Akagi over 11 years ago

Attatched patch enables loading plugins with a few exceptions.
Found defects:
  • ScriptRunner plugin: fails to be loaded.
  • OpenLayers plugin: Menu icons and layers are not displayed.

I would like to note that there is another solution using --configpath commandline option.
