problems with opening raster files

Hi all,
I encountered a problem with QGIS installed from osgeo4w, Windows XP.
I
can't open any raster (I tried with geotiff, asc, ESRI adf...) and the message
is always:  xxx "is not a supported raster data source".
The only option i have
in the dropdown list in the "Open a GDAL Supported Raster Data Source" window
is "Grass and all  other files (*)".
This happens with QGIS 1.4.0 trunk, as
with 1.1.0 and 1.0.2.
I think that this problem could be related to the
installed gdal library (gdal 1.5.4-4), but really I don't know...
Suggestions?

thanks
Ale

As far as I know it is indeed.

The osgeo4w installer do not let you installa a later version?

cheers

Hi Alessandro. I had the same issue. I don't know what caused it but a fresh install (with gdal16 and qgis 1.4.x) of the whole stack solved it. Not an elegant solution, but it works :)
