Description
I've installed QGis on my windows XP machine, however when trying to startup, I get the following error message:
Entrypoint not found procedure TIFFMErgeFieldInfo for DLL libtiff.dll
Any idea how to fix this? I've tried reinstalling several times, even using CCleaner to fix the registry etc..

Well, contact the entity that has provided you with those binaries... (not me ;-))

Replying to robertzederik:
Possibly... Any idea how I can fix this?
This sounds to me like a conflict of several versions of libtiff.dll. You can try to resolve this by the following: check if there is a libtiff.dll in your windows/system32 folder if there is one rename it to libtiff.dll.bak copy the libtiff.dll from the qgis install dir to windows/system32 this possibly affects other programs which need the (older/different) version of libtiff.dll, in this case you have to reverse your actions.
I heared, this is called the windows dll hell.
This could perhaps be related with http://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/ticket/39#comment:1 if your libtiff.dll was generated in the short period where TIFFMergeFieldInfo has bee n removed before being reintroduced ?
