The error from QGIS says:

===============

   Couldn't load PyQGIS. Python support will be disabled.

   Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError:
   No module named qgis.core

   Python version: 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013, 22:44:16) [MSC v.1500
   64 bit (AMD64)]

   QGIS version: 2.16.0-Nødebo 'Nødebo', d0b3e39

   Python path: ['C:/PROGRA~1/QGIS N\xc3\xb8debo/apps/qgis/./python',

(and more Python path statements...)

===================

QGIS then starts normally, but without Python support

AFAIK, the problem is the use of the character "ø" (o-slash) in the directory name for the QGIS program directory: "C:\Program Files\QGIS Nødebo". If you make a name change of the installation directory to ex. "C:\Program Files\QGIS Noedebo" it works without a hitch.

(As a Dane, I would never use local danish "æøå" or other accented character in file or directory names that might be installed on windows-pc's with different encoding than "Latin1", ex. slavic windows pc's., but that's another issue)

The specific problem might be the representation of "ø" in the Python path: There is 2 *different* versions: "N*\xc3\xb8*debo" and "N*\xf8*debo"

"\xf8" -> "ø" in Latin1 encoding.
"\xc3\xb8" -> UTF-8 "ø" -> "ø" (if UTF8 "ø" is interpreted as a 2 character Latin1 encoded string).

The cause is probably something like this: The python path is created using both UTF-8 encoding and Latin1 encoding. And later, the path is "decoded" using only Latin1 encoding.

Hi all,

Seems the name of the release is causing a few issues on Windows installs:

http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/202222/qgis-2-16-n%C3%B8debo-libintl-8-dll-missing
http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/201657/problem-installing-new-version-of-qgis-under-windoss-10-64-bits/202200#202200
etc

Are we planning on keeping the unicode name for the folder name? Could we use something else with doesn't include unicode so we don't break too much.

Have we done an official release yet or still resolving some issues with the packages?

Regards,
Nathan
