 Hi Jurgen,

 files).  So you probably only installed QGIS and got GDAL 1.6 with it -
 and no GDAL 1.5.


 yes, it is the case.

 Sorry, just tested on a fresh qgis/osgeo4w install under windows Seven
 (just gdal16) and it doesn't work. I also launched manually gdal16.bat but
 apparently with no effects. Both from the command line and the plugin the
 message is always like


 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "c:/osgeo4w/apps/gdal-16/bin/gdal_merge.py", line 31, in <module>
     import gdal
 ImportError: No module named gdal
 }}}
