Running QGIS3 first time after fresh install resulting in path error(s)

[qgib]

Author Name: Rene Wubs (Rene Wubs)
Original Redmine Issue: 21128
Affected QGIS version: 3.4.4
Redmine category:build/install

---

AFter a fresh install, running QGIS 3.4 for the first time gives an error and the program will not start.

The first message show a box:

qgis-bin.exe - Toegangspunt niet gevonden

Kan toegangspunt van procedure
??0QColor@@QEAA@SSQEAV0@@Z niet vinden in
DLL-bestand C:\PROGRA~1\QGIS3~1,4\apps\qt5\bin\qwt6.dll

Followed by 5 consecutive boxes with similar errors.

I had this problem also with version 3.2x. Didn't find a solution and reverted back to version 2.

Likely to be a local issue. Have you tried doing a cleanup of the registry entries for QGIS?

Follow the procedure in #26891 (comment) to diagnose - you probably have DLLs in @system32@, which shouldn't be there.

Thanks Giovanni and Juergen,
I will follow the suggested procedure and I will clean up the registry.
That will happen probably next week. I will report back.

Hi there,
I have tried to clean up my registry, and removed all keys related to QGIS. But it didn't make a difference. Version 3 didn't want to be installed. I took a look at the system32 folder, and i quickly decided that it was a road I didn't want to go. Too much work for a non-specialist. So I installed version 3 at my pc at home. No fuss... I cannot afford to put more effort in this matter.

The reason I wanted to upgrade was because of a DXF export that seamed to lose information during the export. For this, I may add a bug report later...

Cheers!
Rene
