I use Windows 10 OS and not good at coding. I have been using QGIS standalone installer for a long time (from 1.8 actually), but recently tried installing the OSGEO4W 32 bit version which had the latest QGIS 2.16 version, but when I load the application I get this error and none of the plugins show up, even the ftools (vector analysis). I have attached the error message below.
I did search for solutions, where I found some discussions talking about "python-future" but I don't know what to do exactly with that downloaded folder.
I tried pasting that folder content inside this path "C:\OSGeo4W\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages\future" and restarted the application and it still didn't fix anything.
Can anyone provide a solution? Error message is provided below.
"**Couldn't load QGIS utils.
