Sat2Chart failing to produce charts -GDAL.msi

[Franco_oz]

If you are making your own charts and get an error, open the sat2chart log file and check the error. In my case I had this:

ERROR 1: Can't load requested DLL: C:\Program Files (x86)\GDAL\gdalplugins\ogr_MSSQLSpatial.dll
126: The specified module could not be found.

GDAL 2.4.0, released 2018/12/14
17:21:15.964000 Set GDAL failed
ERROR 1: Can't load requested DLL: C:\Program Files (x86)\GDAL\gdalplugins\ogr_MSSQLSpatial.dll
126: The specified module could not be found.

This happens because your system don't have the SQL Server Native Client and GDAL plugin ogr_MSSQLSpatial.dll fail.

sqlncli.msi is needed for ogr_MSSQLSpatial.dll to work.

The missing *.msi is available here:

Download sqlncli.msi, double click to install it and the GDAL will work.

I am on a fresh install of WIn11 pro, milage may vary but it worked for me.

Thank you Paul (phiggins) of Sat2Chart for your help in troubleshooting.

Cheers
