QGIS difference between Mac OSx and Windows

Question

I try to import a KML-Placemark file with QGIS (--> Add Vectorlayer, UTF-8). When i import the File with my Mac (OS 10.6) i don´t have any problems viewing all the attributes stored in the KML-File (they are stored in the Tag "ExtendedData")

but when i import the same KML-File in the same QGis Version on a Windows 8 OS i only see the attributes "Name" and "Description" (The points are shown correctly)

this is referring to my question here: KML in QGis with additional Data i thought the problem is solved but it is only to 50 % :)

here is my updated kml-file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">

<Placemark id="PM1">

Answer 1

The QGIS version of Mac OS X (Dufour - KyngChaos) uses GDAL 1.10.1

While the standalone Windows version use GDAL 1.9.X (32 bits) or GDAL 1.10.0 (64 bits)

and

It seems that the Windows 2.0 standalone installer is packaged wrong. It seems to include outdated and removed plugins. plugin_installer, osm_export, mapserver_export. None of these work with 2.0 and have been removed from the source not sure why they are showing up in in the final build, or even how. Nathan Woodrow in QGIS 2.0 Win standalone busted
