I know this topic have been brought up before, but with different situations.
I have been trying to configure geoserver to serve ecw extensions, following documentation and several other different instructions. I managed to get it working in my local computer with standalone geoserver instalation.
Now I need to perform the same task on a Windows Server instance which has geoserver running under Tomcat. Followed the same instructions, changing the packages to match GS version. I guess I set up all necessary environment variables (GDAL_DATA, GDAL_DRIVER_PATH and PATH pointing to the location of the packages I downloaded from gisinternals.com). Managed to make geoserver show additional extensions from gdal, except ECW.
One observation point is that in this server there is more than one GDAL instance, however, I already edit env variables to look only to gisinternals package. Another strange behavior is that when I run gdalinfo -- I get some DLLs missing.:
ERROR 1: Can't load requested DLL: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 9.0\webapps\geoserver\GDAL\bin\gdal\plugins\gdal_GEOR.dll
126: The specified module could not be found.

GDAL 3.6.2, released 2023/01/02
Those files exist and their path is specified in GDAL_DRIVER_PATH env variable.
gdalinfo --formats shows ECW. I can even run gdal_translate and transform ECW to another formats without problems. Is there any additional step for gisinternals package or I can only load and point to it in the variables?
GeoServer version: 2.23.2
GDAL (gisinternals) version: 3.6.2
I undestand that ECW is a paid format and the customer has agreed to license it, but in order to continue we need to test and check it's running.
