Nelson,
dynamically loaded plugin dlls which in turn require other statically
compiled libraries is where Windows dll hell starts to get really
ugly. Windows tries to locate your sde libraries either in one of the
directories contained in your %PATH% (probably set by setenv.bat but I
don't use MS4W so I can't help you there) or, preferably, in the
application's folder. By that, if I'm not mistaken, they mean the
directory which the main executable image of your app is launched
from, so probably the one containing mapserv.exe (or maybe the one
where libmap.dll resides?). It's definitely not going to work if you
place them relative to the plugin inside your specialplugins folder as
that dll is dynamically loaded into the main application's process
space. What I'm saying is that Dependency Walker won't help you in
this case if you launch it directly on msplugin_sde_92.dll, because
what counts is what mapserver.exe/libmap.dll sees, not the plugin.
Still, if all fails, you could always just drop the sde libs into c:
\windows\system32 but I'm sure with some trial and error you'll find a
place where they get picked up correctly.
