I'm not sure if you need the SDK at all. Following this note:
<http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ECW>
<http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/RE-ECW-td4646269.html>

the old 3.3 version used in QGIS Lisboa standalone still should work.
ECW should be listed under Settings -> Options, GDAL tab.
At least for me, but not in the OSGeo4W version built against the newset 
ECW SDK.

I don't have installed the SDK, but gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll dated 25.03.2012 
in folder \QuantumGis\bin\gdalplugins\1.9
