# Troubleshooting:
* I get an error message: `ERROR 1: Can't load requested DLL: ..\site-packages\osgeo\gdalplugins\gdal_MrSID.dll
127: The specified procedure could not be found.`
  * You might not have Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable - Download and install vc_redist.x86.exe or vc_redist.x64.exe from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
  * `gdal-sid==3.4.x` is not compatible with `gdal==3.4.3` see https://github.com/talos-gis/gdal-sid/issues/1
# No error message is given but the format is still unsupported after installation
  * In some gdal binary distribution versions `gdalplugins` directory is not set up by default:
    * Either set `GDAL_DRIVER_PATH` environment variable to the `gdalplugins` directory or 
    * uncomment the section in `osgeo/__init__.py`
