Thanks for the reply Micha, but my point is that I would like to see this instruction VERY CLOSE TO, or even preferably being part of, the install page of QGis. You can't expect from the moderate user that he/she digs deeply into mail groups, forums etc. to solve the problem, especially when the install page states that ECW and SID are supported.

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? Does this page cover the issue: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/OSGeo4wSetup (second hit on Google for "ecw mrsid qgis windows" Regards, Micha Cheers, Hubert Kivit This mail was received via Mail-SeCure System. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user This mail was received via Mail-SeCure System. -- Micha Silver http://www.surfaces.co.il/ Arava Development Co. +972-52-3665918
