Re: [Qgis-user] ecw support on windows problem

Carlos, Not sure if this could be related to your problem, but the way we have always made this installation (~20 machines now, including xp and vista) is running the osgeo4w installer first. Also, what do you mean by not having the ECW support? You do not get qgis to display the ecw layer

Hi Mike AFAIK there are Plans for a standalone Installer on Windows and a lot of people currently try to get it compiling. What I know is that there are some problems with integrating Python and GRASS support in a standalone installer. But there are already Standalone Installers without Python

Hi List! I take the liberty to start a new thread on this subject. I am currently having serious trouble using QGis because of the poor Windows support. I was happily using the second preview when I decided to upgrade to Kore. Then the trouble began. As described on the QGis forum, the so-called

Mats, I'd like to reiterate the question below. do you not have a save as button next to the file folder (load) button? perhaps you could fire off a screen grab of what you do have? C -- Carson J. Q. Farmer ISSP Doctoral Fellow National Centre for Geocomputation (NCG), John Hume Building,

I personally use linux but have had to pay attention to Qgis running on Windows (and recently on Mac) because most students are using Windows (and, even worse, vista). But I must say that I feel a bit guilty for this. Somehow I feel that there is a lot of very good brain time being devoted to deal

Hi, I've been patiently waiting for a simple standalone installer for distribution at my workplace (we're still using 0.11) -- many thanks for the efforts! On the topic of GRASS, I'm not sure exactly where the difficulties are, but I'm wondering if GRASS support is really needed for a
