<ul><li><strong>Subject</strong> changed from <i>GRASS/processing does not work on Windows standalone installers</i> to <i>GRASS/processing does not work on Windows</i></li></ul><p>I have run a tests on every installer available for Windows. These are my findings</p>
<p>-------------------<br />I have run a set of tests on Windows, and here following my notes. It<br />seems to me that there are not only issue with the processing<br />framework, but also with the installers itselfs.</p>
<p>I used using a <strong>clean</strong> Windows 7 machine and after testing each<br />installer I carefully cleaned any trace of qgis by removing registry<br />keys, installation leftovers anthe .qgis2 folder and cleaning again<br />with ccleaner.</p>
<p>*) standolone installer 32bit: both grass and saga are not found by<br />processing regardless the installation path (with spaces or no spaces,<br />I tested also install in c:\\qgis).</p>
<p>When trying to open a GRASS module the error is (in the qgis log)</p>
<p>OGR<sup><a href="#fn3">3</a></sup> error 4: Unable to open<br />C:/PROGRA~1/QGISDU~1/apps/qgis/./python/plugins\\processing\\tests\\data\\points.shp<br />or C:/PROGRA~1/QGISDU~1/apps/qgis/./python/plugins\\processing\\tests\\data\\points.SHP.</p>
<p>I noticed also that:</p>
<p>this installer install the software in "program file" and not in<br />"program files(x86)" as expected for a 32bit program in a 64bit<br />Windows.</p>
<p>When configuring processing the qgis log shows this</p>
<p>"edit: editing failed"</p>
<p>I tried to manually set/escape the GRASS paths in processing at no avail.</p>
<p>*) standalone installer 64bit: saga is not found by processing. GRASS<br />is found, modules run but at the end they return errors.</p>
<p>The error (in the qgis log) is</p>
<p>OGR<sup><a href="#fn3">3</a></sup> error 4: Unable to open<br />C:/PROGRA~1/QGISDU~1/apps/qgis/./python/plugins\\processing\\tests\\data\\points.shp<br />or C:/PROGRA~1/QGISDU~1/apps/qgis/./python/plugins\\processing\\tests\\data\\points.SHP.</p>
<p>and this "points.shp" has nothing to do with the module being run.</p>
<p>Please note that the same GRASS modules with the same inputs works ok<br />with qgis installed with osgeo4w (see below).</p>
<p>QGIS installed with this installer now gives an error when launching.<br />See this image</p>

<p>It does NOT give the "edit: editing failed" error when configuring processing.</p>
<p>*) osgeo4w 64bit installer:</p>
<p>on start qgis gives the same error given by the 64 bit standalone<br />installer (see above).</p>
<p>Saga works. GRASS modules run but they return an error (see above).</p>
<p>I noticed also that this osgeo4w installer does not automatically<br />selects the dependencies and that it is not possible to install from a<br />local folder as it enters in a loop and does not allow to see the last<br />dialog, the one with the install/finish button.</p>
<p>*) osgeo4w installer:</p>
<p>I see the</p>
<p>"edit: editing failed"</p>
<p>message when configuring processing, but overall it seems that<br />everything is ok, saga and grass do run as expected.grass modules are<br />running and returning results (with the same modules and inputs, the<br />standalone installers and the osgeo4w64 don't).</p>
<p>*) osgeo4w 32bit experimental installer</p>
<p>same as osgeo4w installer.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #8627: GRASS/processing does not work on Windows (standalone installers)https://issues.qgis.org/issues/8627?journal_id=451112013-09-29T02:20:45ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>I can <strong>not</strong> confirm this. GRASS is on the plugins list, but the second I try and run one I get "Missing dependency.This algorithm cannot be run :-( " - end result is the same (not working).</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #8627: GRASS/processing does not work on Windows (standalone installers)https://issues.qgis.org/issues/8627?journal_id=457542013-10-17T06:06:38ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com

<p>this ticket is to be closed anyway. Actual standalone installers have issues that have been solved in osgeo4w ones. New standalone installers just need to be created.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #8627: GRASS/processing does not work on Windows (standalone installers)https://issues.qgis.org/issues/8627?journal_id=619822015-06-07T02:26:36ZGiovanni Manghigiovanni.manghi@gmail.com
