Description

When running QGIS 1.8 Lisboa, QtCore4.dll causes program crash when attempting to specify CRS for layer or project on two separate Windows 7 platforms (one Win7 Professional and the other Win7 Home Premium). The problem does not occur when running QGIS 1.8 on a Windows XP Professional platform. Diagnostics already performed: disabled McAfee realtime scanning and reinstalled QGIS; deleted .qgis folder and reinstalled QGIS with new .qgis folder; searched for other versions of QtCore4.dll on computer with negative results (i.e., the version in C:/Program Files (x86)/Quantum GIS Lisboa/bin is the only one on my computer. Good luck!

Do you use custom CRS?

Try this:
1. open regedit
2. go to HKEY_USERS\\S-1-5-21-[many numbers here]-1000\\Software\\QuantumGIS\\QGIS\\UI
3. remove recentProjections and recentProjectionsAuthId
4. start QGIS
5. Try to specify CRS again

Charles, do you mean the bug is now fixed in master ?

Sandro, Giovanni,

as I understood, no, Charles thanked me for the solution that involved editing registry. But the problem is still there. See #7377

I guess both this ticket and #7377 should be closed when it is fixed. Seems like an easy fix, btw)
