Tyler,

If you have the 1.2.1_FW OpenEV release, then you should have everything you
need (assuming your MapServer is built with GDAL support). Just copy the
gdal11.dll, NCS*.dll and perhaps the OGDI, ZLIB and EXPAT DLLs rom the
OpenEV release into whereever you have your gdal11.dll currently for MapServer
and you should be all set.

In the meantime, verify that your OpenEV can open ECW files.

Best regards,
