[Gdal-dev] Aigrid2 not working on Windows..

[Ben Discoe]

Interesting behavior on my machine.  After installing some ESRI products, i
can no longer open Arc Grid files (.adf).  It doesn't crash specifically -
it just abruptly exits the entire app.  Callstack is:

pfnGridIOSetup()
GIODataset::Open()
GDALOpen()

Apparently, this is happening because it's now finding a DLL called
"avgridio.dll" on my machine, part of the ESRI software.  Unfortunately,
because is just exits abruptly from inside the ESRI DLL, i can't debug it -
nor can i fall back on the standard .adf support.

I tried working around the problem by renaming the DLL:
	C:\ESRI\AV_GIS30\ARCVIEW\BIN32\avgridio.dll
however, GDAL then finds and uses this:
	C:\arcgis\arcexe83\bin\aigridio.dll

..which also does an abrupt exit crash.  When i rename them both, then GDAL
uses the normal driver and loads my file fine.  Any ideas?
