grass - Specifying GISBASE location for QGIS install?


I am just a beginner at this QGIS and GRASS and I am using this QGIS 2.0.1 Dufour which throws a error at the startup that



"QGIS couldn't find your GRASS installation. Would you like to specify path (GISBASE) to your GRASS installation?"



I cannot find the root cause of the problem or any way to solve it.



From other forum posts, I can see that many others have seen this problem but no one has given a clear cut solution to it.




If someone can help me with this issue, it will be really helpful. My project work is at halt, so please help me solve it.


**The installer is **



QGIS-OSGeo4W-2.0.1-3-Setup-x86



and



WinGRASS-6.4.3-1-Setup



Also one more update is that it runs fine on my laptop which intel i7 and 4GB RAM with Windows 8 but not on my desktop which is an INTEL DUAL CORE and 2GB RAM which has Windows 7 Enterprise

So what do you think now?



Answer



The Windows standalone installer you used has its own GRASS and does not require to install WINGRASS separately. It might be that those two interfere.


Uninstall WINGRASS and QGSIS, delete the .qgis2 path in your user folder, and reinstall QGIS only.


Then look into C:\Program Files (x86)\QGIS Dufour\postinstall.log for any error messages. When it complains that the PATH variablke exceeds 1024 characters, clean that.



Alternatively, you can use the OSGEO4W setup installer.



From your postinstall.log:


'C:\PROGRA~1\QGIS' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

is the point where it breaks. Strangely, it did work for me on the same operating system. Try to install everything into C:\QGISDufour\ to avoid any blanks in the pathname, or use osgeo4w-setup.exe, which installs into C:\OSGEO4W\
