Martin,

Ah, I suspect this is the same problem as using other OSGeo4W
GDAL plugins with the new version of GDAL built with a different
version of visual studio.

With OSGeo4W you can switch back to the 1.9.1 GDAL version and things
should work.  Hopefully the FileGDB plugin will be rebuilt soon.

Best regards,
