+== 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.  Failure to install the correct ECW libraries will normally result in a popup message reading "This application has failed to start because NCSEcw.dll was not found." or a console error report like:

+{{{
