clipping a CORINE landcover geotiff raster with a polygon misses a driver

Original Redmine Issue: 16254
Affected QGIS version: 2.18.4
Redmine category:unknown

It says: "Output driver 'DTED' not recognised or does not support direct output file creation."
Upon inspection the Raster tab, at the bottom there is a "GdalTools Settings" option which opens a window to set GDAL paths, yet all are empty.
Installation was QGIS 2.18.3 installed by QGIS 64 bit install.
I also tried to fix it by installing Osgeo, which updated QGIS to QGIS 2.18.4 64 bit, but to no avail.

I found some workarounds for situations with "Output driver 'XXXX' not recognised or does not support direct output file creation.", (XXXX being some other formats) that involve warp function capabilities, but those are beyond my expertise.

I managed to clip the raster on a different computer, and with QGIS 2.14 on it. :)

On the affected machine I:

• reinstalled QGIS through Osgeo to version 2.18 - no joy;
• reinstalled QGIS through Osgeo to version 2.14 - no joy;
• deinstalled Osgeo and QGIS, and all their folders (or so I thought), and registry, restarted and put QGIS 2.14.12 - no joy

There is a difference between the 2 PCs that may be the cause of odd behaviour. The PC where it works fine is the one I have full control, and the affected PC I use as an user, but install things as a domain admin. Perhaps there is some access problem associated with such use. I'm afraid such behaviour will be difficult to duplicate on other machines.

On Win computers with strict policies about what can/can't be run by normal users, with installations done by admins but then used by normal users, etc. I sometimes seen this kind of problems.

Please try pinpoint the issue, and then eventually reopen this ticket.
