<DIV id=RTEContent> <DIV>West,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You are seeing a portion of this reply twice, as I neglected to reply back everyone the first time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I had the same problem about a month ago. If I recall right, adding the path to gdal_fw.dll to the system variable 'PATH' and restarting VB6 seemed to do the trick.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There still exists the problem everytime you upgrade FWTools, you would need to change your PATH to reflect the location of gdal_fw.dll. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This "need" leads to a number of possible "fixes". </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>One might be a modification to Frank's installation script - is it possible to find and replace an existing FWTools entry in the system variable PATH automatically in the FWTools installation script?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Another "fix" might be implementing a installation strategy that preserves a generic directory, i.e. FWTools vice
FWTools1.0.0a3. You would still have a need to set PATH, but it would only need to be accomplished once. Of course an uninstall would need to remove the entry as well.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Another "fix" could be to determine which GDAL libraries are critical to your VB6 app and implement a custom installation of GDAL...though this could be a configuration nightmare if done without a thorough plan, and MIT licensing may preclude a "partial" installation. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>What do you think Frank? Are you using MSI for FWTools installation?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Buck</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>BTW - I recently started a Yahoo! group called gdal-vb6-appdev. Not very many members, but it might be good to share VB6-gdal programming tricks and tips there.</DIV> <DIV><A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gdal-vb6-appdev/" target=_blank><FONT
