Anyway, that must have been before GDAL 1.9.2 - after that, the mrsid plugin, if installed, even caused an instant crash. But that package meanwhile rebuilt for 1.9.2. The current situation is no ECW support in OSGeo4W - and before we were also only shipping the gdal ECW plugin, but not the ECW DLLs. Building the 3.3 SDK from source with VC10 and doing a GDAL plugin based on that also works, but the licensing/distribution issue for the ECW DLLs is unclear to me - and therefore we didn't upload that plugin. It's not usable without VC10 builds of the 3.3 ECW DLLs and doubt that they are publically available anywhere. Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
