Hi Milo,
I've tried the osgeo4w installer on Vista, which works. So I can give
that a try on XP as well. However, I need to be able to work with the
standalone installer, as our internet connection here (Tanzania) is very
unreliable and rather slow, and a lot of our clients don't have an
internet connection.
But you got me thinking about why it would be overruled by an older
version: I'd uninstalled 1.6, but still had a version 1.5 installed.
After uninstalling 1.5 as well there is no problem. I've now also
re-installed 1.6 (standalone installer) and that now seems to work
without problems (at least I can start up without error messages...).
Thanks for your help!

Janneke,
It probably ships with the correct python sip, but perhaps it is not
on your path or overruled by an older version of sip. Have you tried
the osgeo4w installer, or did you install from the qGIS standalone
installer? Perhaps the osgeo4w installation process can help as it
will also install dependencies on the go

Thanks, Milo, I'll give it a try. I need the python bindings. It looks a bit
daunting though, last time I tried building things I got completely stuck.
I'm a bit surprised that the standalone installer doesn't come with the
corresponding python sip - I hoped it would've worked out of the box. Is it
supposed to?
greetings,
Janneke

Hello Janneke,
I think I remember that qGIS can run without pyQGIS, so you should be
good on "regular" functionality with qGIS.
However, for python support you need a more recent version of python
sip. Instructions for installing that can be found here:

Good luck!

Dear all,
I've just tried installing the standalone version of Qgis 1.7 on XP, and
after starting the program I get the following error message:
--------------------------
Couldn't load PyQGIS.

---------------------------
Is there anything else I should install or set? I've also sent it to the
developer list yesterday.
greetings,
Janneke
