I get the above message on all the SAGA tools that I'm trying to run in QGIS, could someone give me an idea of what to look for here? I've tried switching versions of the ltr in the OSGeo4W installer, same thing happens.
Update (from comments):
I don't need help with any specific dataset per se, I think something is wrong with the way I am installing (64-bit advanced mode network installer OSGeo4W).
I've tried several times to install the 3 pieces, I need each of them, to no avail. There is always errors, i.e. the path variables written, versions, location of GRASS "C:/OSGeo4W/bin/bin" (notice two bins there) gets written and then GRASS doesn't work.
I was only able to get GRASS and SAGA both working by installing the 64-bit standalone installer long term release. All combinations of OSGeo4W installer, various ltr, latest, etc., all wrote either bad PATH variables, or one or more tools were pointing to the wrong folder locations for binaries. Which might not be a problem except I can't seem to find the processing option/dialogue where I can tell QGIS where the GRASS folder is.
And this is after getting a third party uninstall tool to clean up Windows registry and deleting my user profiles, otherwise problems would come back.
I'm documenting this in case other Windows users are in the same boat.

If you are running a 64-bit machine, make sure that you are installing QGIS from the 64-bit network installer: http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup-x86_64.exe.
I am an OSGeo4W user, for both Windows 64 and 32 bit.
And I must say that the installation made from the network installer seems to me pretty stable. I don't see another reason for the stand-alone installer more than for a Portable GIS.
The standard installation was made only once, and all I do is keep it updated from the advanced mode.
When a tool does not work, 90% of the time is due to a problem with the data or the procedure used.
There is no need to install outdated packages, they will surely not solve the problem and they are even likely to generate some more. When a regression in a package is found, it is reported to the developers and (earlier than later) it is fixed.
