I am not sure if this is related, but I think this failure to load the plugin is affecting the Vector menu. It does not open when it is clicked. Please see attached screenshot. If you think this is something different, please let me know and I'll submit a new specific bug.

Thanks,

Try removing your existing osgeo4w install folder and then re-installing. You have some leftover files from an earlier build in there which is causing this issue.

#3 Updated by rmercer - over 6 years ago

That did indeed solve the problem. It would be helpful to have a note about that on the download/install page, as I don't recall this being necessary in other version upgrades.

Thanks much!
