style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Thanks for the reply
Micha, but my point is that I would like to see this instruction VERY CLOSE TO,
or even preferably being part of, the install page of QGis. You can’t
expect from the moderate user that he/she digs deeply into mail groups, forums
etc. to solve the problem, especially when the install page states that ECW and
SID are supported.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'>it took me
quite a while to find out why I couldn't use ECW, JP2 and MrSID images with
OSGEO4W-installed QGis on Windows. According to the download page support for
these formats is included. For MrSID and MrSid-JP2000 it appeared that I needed
to manually add the Gdal-16 MrSid-plugin (through the advanced install - libs
section). From there I also added the Gdal-16 ECW plugin, but I still wasn't
able to load these images into QGis. In the QGis user archives (september 2009)
I found a topic on this, from which I learned that I needed 4 Erdas SDK
libraries and put them in the windows system 32 directory. At last I was able
to do what I had been done with standalone-installed QGis right from the start:
load my ECW and SID-files.<br>
So my question is: is it possible to give a somewhat more comprehensive
explanation on this subject on the install page?</span></font></p>
