Problem resolved! We checked the directories where the map images should have been, but nothing there. There were a few things we checked, including paths to the directories. One important thing found, the log file showed an error referring to a bad WFS request. We have no WFS requests in the map files. With a Google search we found this error is caused by a bug in the latest MapServer software. So we switched back to the next recent version of MS4W, and the service works fine now.

Don't trust IIS to arrange this for you, you have to set it yourself at system level.
