Description

qgis crashes when "help" is selected in options-->gdal-->edit create options
it happens for every type of gdal driver options selected

Only Windows is affected, I am presuming this is related to the gdal provider loading in QgsRasterFormatSaveOptionsWidget::helpOptions() and not a gui issue.

I don't have developping tools setup on windows for now, so it would be great if someone could try it and report at least the line where crash occurs.
