I posted this message on the forum, but as no one reacted, I give it a try here...
it took me quite a while to find out why I couldn't use ECW, JP2 and MrSID images with OSGEO4W-installed QGis on Windows. According to the download page support for these formats is included. For MrSID and MrSid-JP2000 it appeared that I needed to manually add the Gdal-16 MrSid-plugin (through the advanced install - libs section). From there I also added the Gdal-16 ECW plugin, but I still wasn't able to load these images into QGis. In the QGis user archives (september 2009) I found a topic on this, from which I learned that I needed 4 Erdas SDK libraries and put them in the windows system 32 directory. At last I was able to do what I had been done with standalone-installed QGis right from the start: load my ECW and SID-files. So my question is: is it possible to give a somewhat more comprehensive explanation on this subject on the install page? Cheers, Hubert Kivit
