Ben,
I'm agree with you about this...

These problems were solved including the required VC9 DLLs and
repackaging GDAL 1.6.0 with the VC9 manifest [1]. So GDAL 1.6.0 [2]
should work fine on MS>=Vista.

Dependency Walker [3] on jgdal092.dll returns that there are some
unsatisfied dependencies on Vista and so on..., so I think that this is
probably the main issue. However, I'm not a C/C++ developer...

Best regards,
Antonio
