GDAL not registering ECW driver

[harrylloyd-cefas]

Thanks for developing this, I've got some data coming in as .ecw and would be really helpful to read it direct with GDAL via rasterio.

I've pip installed this package into a conda environment but the ECW driver isn't registering. I've manually set GDAL_DRIVER_PATH as an environment variable pointing to the location of gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll. Are there some installation steps/config settings that I've missed? Thanks in advance.

Windows 10
GDAL = 3.4.3

import os
os.environ["GDAL_DRIVER_PATH"] = r"C:\Users\HL04\AppData\Local\mambaforge\envs\mapping_ecw\Lib\site-packages\osgeo\gdalplugins"
from osgeo import gdal
import rasterio as rs`

driver_list = []
for i in range(gdal.GetDriverCount()):
    driver = gdal.GetDriver(i)
    driver_list.append(driver.GetDescription())
driver_list.sort()
driver_list  # ECW not in the list of drivers

rs.open("..\\data\\raw\\{raster}.ecw")  # gives a RasterioIOError with .ecw as an unrecognised file type

I have encountered the same problem. Do you have a solution
