I uninstalled the old versions of QGIS (v1.0?) & GRASS from a Windows Vista machine. I downloaded the QGIS Windows Standalone Installer from www.qgis.org. I installed QGIS-OSGeo4W-1.6.0-14615-Setup-2.exe as administrator. When I tried to run for the first time I get the error message shown below (?nextNode@QHashData@@SAPAUNode@1@PAU21@@z could not be located in the dynamic link library [[QtCore]]4.dll). I uninstalled everything and tried again with the same result. I searched the machine and found 6 different copies of [[QtCore]]4.dll (including printer and Adobe programs). Ticket #13025 doesn't seem very helpful. How do I get QGIS to run?

Yes, one copy was in c:\\windows\\system32.  I renamed it, rebooted, and again tried running QGIS.  This time a different error message appeared: "The procedure entry point _Z10qAllocMoreii could not be located in the dynamic link library [[QtCore]]4.dll"

I think this is a local problem only. Please clean up your system and report back, reopening if necessary.
