Installing ECW SDK

The GDAL ECW Plugin requires the ECW 3.3 Runtime libraries which the end user is required to download and install directly from the ERMapper Web Site directly.

ERMapper Web Site: ​http://www.ermapper.com/Downloads.aspx?v=303

After installation, please copy the .dll files in the redistributable\vc71 directory somewhere appropriate, like C:\windows\system32. eg.

copy C:\"Program Files"\"Earth Resource Mapping"\"ECW SDK"\redistributable\vc71\*.dll C:\windows\system32

Note that downloading and installing these DLLs requires agreeing to a license. Please review the license terms carefully.

It is imperative that the VC7.1 ECW 3.3 SDK binaries be used. Any other ECW (NCS*) DLLs are unlikely to work properly.
