Description

In QGIS 1.9.0 Alpha, ECW is not shown as supported Raster Format.
Gdalinfo reports, that NCSEcw4_RO.dll and other dlls are missing.
I installed sdk4.2 from ERDAS.
After restart, gdalinfo reports:
Can not load requested DLL: C:\\OSGeo4W\\\\bin\\gdalplugins\\1.9\\gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll
193: %1 ist keine zulässige Win32-Anwendung

The ECW plugin in OSGeo4W is marked as obsolete. For now ECW is unsupported in OSGeo4W - the licensing is unclear.

Hello Juergen,

first i copied the sdk vc 10 win32 dll in the gdalplugin, 1,9 directory and the system32 folder in windows. This was the solution in the gdal 1.9.0 version.

Now i copied the dlls directly in the bin path: "C:\\OSGeo4W\\bin" and ecw is supported now in gdal 1.9.2 (see attached jpg)

It is good to have ecw support, because the format is often used.

Thanks
Gerhard

This is not an QGIS issue - if GDAL has ECW support, QGIS will use it. But GDAL in OSGeo4W currently doesn't have ECW support (the old plugin might even break the newer GDAL - so it was marked obsolete there).

See OSGeo4W #337
