In that thread Frank suspected that there is a libtiff.dll in Agus system32
directory.  That was the case and Agus removed it.  That helped.

Unfortunately it's not possible to have Windows find OSGeo4W's libtiff.dll
before the one in system32 and removing it or replacing it with the OSGeo4W
version might break the software that originally put it there.

But in that case it might help to put the original libtiff.dll into the same
directory as the .EXE of the other software.
