After I installed QGIS 2.2 via OSGeo4W, as I click the icon of QGIS, then it shows this up,
so I can't open QGIS 2.2
Here's some look like troublesome lines in my installation log,
2014/03/23 13:42:15 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 2 No such file or directory

How to fix this problem？
I am working under Windows 8.1 64-bit
Update#1
I follow the suggestion of the answer in the post, How to debug QGIS installation problems on XP?, download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable and then install qgis 2.2 using OSGeo4W package, and here's the same part of the installation log,
2014/03/23 16:17:39 io_stream_cygfile: fopen(/etc/setup/setup.rc) failed 2 No such file or directory
2014/03/23 16:17:39 Current Directory: C:\Users\Heinz\Installation files

I can successfully launch Qgis browser, but I still have the same dumped message that I can't launch qgis desktop.
Update#2
I have uninstalled the 64-bit version and installed the 32-bit OSGeo4W package. I have checked the installation log, just like the one I post in Update#1, and the rest part of it is fine.
I still got the same error message, but unlike the 64-bit version message, the same mbox would appear after I click the confirm button, this time I just have to click confirm in the mbox one time. And I can still launch qgis browser.
Are there someone successfully launching qgis 2.2 on windows 8.1 x64 computer？
Best Answer
Except for the mbox note, I get the same messages, so these are not critical. Problems may arise later on.
I suggest to uninstall all installed standalone versions, erase the C:\OSGeo4W64 folder and the C:\users\Heinz.qgis2 folder, and make a clean install with the 32bit version into C:\OSGeo4W.
I'm not sure if there are any Windows 8.1 related blockers, current versions (32bit and 64bit) definitely run on Windows 7 64bit.
If the rest of the installation log does not give any hints, a bug report including dump and log files can adress the problem to the developers (who do not read here).
