[WIN] 0.4.0 installer fails at .qt-post-link.bat

[stuart-cls]

Hi Marko,

The 0.4.0 installer is failing for me. First, like in #2 I had to completly delete the old installation. And now the installer is failing while running .qt-post-link.bat. I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.

Errors:

Is it failing on all computers? Are there any particularities you know of? Win 7 or Win 10?

What is the md5sum of you downloaded file?

This is a duplicate of biolab/orange3#3819. Could you try Ales's suggestions?

So far it's only failing on my main development machine (Win 10), I was able to install it after properly uninstalling 0.3.0 on another Win 10 machine. Besides being my development machine and all the random installs that go along with that, I also have two installations of miniconda on this machine: 64 and 32 bit. However, the Orange installer has always properly chosen the 64-bit as far as I can tell.
I also manually deleted the Quasar-0.3.0 installation instead of using the uninstaller (perhaps unwisely) when I got the binary-compat error.

MD5 is 4e3d45cbe2b9262f2f2b7e9fe00c3201

The Orange-3.22.0.dev0+73d93ee installer with qt-5.9.7 you sent me fails in the same way.

conda clean --all deleted a ton of stuff but I still get the error.

I'll add my conda info to the other issue.

I found that using the 0.3.2 Quasar Miniconda installer does still work for me.

Somewhat related issue. I have 0.3.2 installed, and it won't let me install 0.4.0 now. I get this error. The only thing in the folder is what came with 0.3.2. Is this intended?

[markotoplak]

@Guillaumes33, thank you. Please uninstall 0.3.2 first before installing 0.4.0.

This is bug biolab/orange3#3830

[markotoplak]

The problem by @stuart-cls is fixed in today's release. Reusing the same environment is still a problem (see #3830).
