[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr in fwtools 2.3 on windows gml to shp issue

[Even Rouault]

What is the relationship with the original topic of this thread ?

I'm not sure how you could run "gdal_polygonize" as such as there's no 
gdal_polygonize.bat provided by default, so I imagine you created your own.

Did you remember of running "setfw.bat" before to set up appropriate 
environment variables ? When doing that, I'm able to do "python 
bin\gdal_polygonize.py"

But anyway, this is of no use, since gdal_polygonize.py will require the new 
generation GDAL python bindings, but (for historical reasons) FWTools comes 
with old-generation GDAL python bindings that do not have the newer mappings, 
like the one needed for gdal_polygonize.py

Perhaps you should try osgeo4w.
