[Qgis-user] Re: ecw problems

[pieri70]

Dear all
I face the same problem, ECW data not supported...

I tried both on a WinXP workstation and on a Netbook with W/ onboard.

Installed Qgis 1.7.2 trough "osgeo4w-setup", with gdal-ecw 1.8.0.1.

My qgis.bat says:

"@echo off

SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=d:\OSGeo4W
call "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\bin\o4w_env.bat
call "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\grass\grass-6.4.2RC2\etc\env.bat
@echo off
SET GDAL_DRIVER_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\gdalplugins\1.8
path
%PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\bin;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass-6.4.2RC2\lib
start "Quantum GIS" /B "%OSGEO4W_ROOT%"\apps\qgis\bin\qgis.exe %*
"

So the gdal environment path seems ok, right?
I followed this link to set Qgis and ECW

http://planet.qgis.org/planet/tag/ecw/

I installed "ECWJP2SDKSetup_20100920.exe" (that is SDK 4.1 Read only) from
ERDAS and tried to copy the 8 *.dll (found in "ERDAS\ERDAS ECW JPEG2000
SDK\bin\vc90\win32") both in System32, or in D:\OSGeo4W\bin, or in
d:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdalplugins\1.8.

Nothing to do, ECW isn't supported..

Yesterday, on the netbook, in a first installation I downloaded
"ECWJP2SDKSetup_RO_20110303.exe", that is 4.2 version of the SDK-RO. At
first I tried to open ECW and QGis started working but in a wait state.
I stopped it and tried to open a smaller ecw and it displayed it, but after
a while it crashed.
So I realized that it was needed the 4.1 version of ECW-SDK and I used it.
By that point nothing to do, no compatibility..

In what am I wrong?

Thankyou
Pietro
