[Qgis-user] Re: Re: QGIS 1.5 Update for ECW/SID support crashes

Hi all,

the plugin gdal17-ecw has been added by Frank W. in the osgeo4w
installer.

Now you only need to download the ERDAS sdk, accept the licence,,
install it, pick the redistributable dlls and copy them into system32.

After first test all works fine.


Cheers
