[osgeo4w-dev] What are the Dependencies and Requirements for Proper Function of FileGDB Plugin for QGIS?

[Peter Willis]

Hello,

I have just installed the current OSGeo4W using the windows installer.
Previous versions of GIS software were removed prior to installation and
the 'Advanced' install was selected to allow 'FileGDB' packages to be
installed. 

After installing QGIS runs fine. The add vector appears allow
'Directory/ESRI FileGDB' ,
however the plugin for FileGDB loading fails with a non-descriptive error
dialog.

I have noticed several bug reports regarding this problem showing it being
resolved but
with no clear stepwise workaround provided to ensure success for other
users.

Is there a location where all the requirements and dependencies for
installing and  running the FileGDB
plug-in for QGIS are listed clearly?

A list with expected paths to required files, dependencies, etc. would go a
long way to making 
plugin troubleshooting easier.


Thanks,

P
