dear all, I struggle opening a Landsat MSS Geotiff with metadata, downloaded from the earth explorer. When I try to open the .MTL file, I get the following error: GEOTIFF METADATA File ......_MTL.txt Problem: an error was encountered reading this file. Error: Expression must be a scalar or 1 element array in this context: . it then opens 6 bands, the first 2 are just black. The metadata for the processing is wrong then, of course. I'm using Envi 4.7 and the 4 Geotiffs are in the same directory as the metadata file. No problems with Landsat TM data. What is wrong?

There is a service pack for ENVI 4.7 that made a couple of fixes to Landsat with metadata files. You can download it from the Downloads section of this website. Be sure to check the box for 'Previous versons'. There were additional fixes in ENVI 4.8, so a better option would be to upgrade to that version.

it works after upgrading, thanks a lot. This raises another question: it does not seem to be possible to use the FLAASH module with images older than 1986? greetings, Martin University of Vienna
