[Qgis-user] MRsid/ ECW

[Sindile Bidla]

I have managed to get mrsid files to open in Qgis1.5 here is what I did:

1. install qgis 1.4 Encaladus from here
http://linfiniti.com/downloads/QGIS-1.4.0-1-No-GrassSetup.exe

2. use the osgeo4w installer and install the following
libraries: gdal-mrsid, gdal 16-mrsid, gdal-ecw, gdal 16-ecw and gdal17

3. copy the following dlls - NSCEcw.dl, NCScnet.dll, NCSutil.dll from the
installation path of QGIS1.4 (c:\Program Files\Quantum GIS Enceladus\bin

4. paste these dlls into the bin directory of your osgeo4w installation.

You should then be able to open mrsid files.

Note: this seems not to work with the nightly builds of Qgis.

Regards
