    Have you checked the files at C:\OSGeo4W\var\log to see that the setup ran without errors?

    The last error has to be solved. You have to clean up your PATH variable. Have you got a GRASS icon on the desktop? In QGIS, Processing -> Options -> Data Provider -> GRASS, is it activated, and is the GRASS folder path correct?

    Apart from Windows entries, all you might experience is some other programmes may not run afterwards. Creating a recovery point might be a good idea. You have to reinstall QGIS after that to run the installer successfully to the end.

    With QGIS 2.2 just around the cormer, I suggest to wait for that new version.

You need to configure the GRASS and SAGA folders in QGIS. Follow these instructions from the QGIS documentation on Configuring external applications:

The processing framework can be extended using additional applications. Currently, SAGA, GRASS, OTB (Orfeo Toolbox) and R are supported, along with some other command-line applications that provide spatial data analysis functionalities. Algorithms relying on an external application are managed by their own algorithm provider.
