Hi,

The ”relevant binaries” means copying into the cgi-bin directory of MS4W all 
the .dll files from \release-1600-gdal-mapserver.zip\bin\ as well as 
mapserv.exe from \release-1600-gdal-mapserver.zip\bin\ms\apps\.  I believe that 
32-bit binaries must be used.

I made a short test with my old MS4W installation and Apache did start and all 
the old mapfiles I tried were working after these substitutions. However, from 
previous experience I know that mixed binaries can make troubles. I also 
believe that Mapserver is losing users because we lack an easy way to install 
current version on Windows.

If you still using ms4w+Apache, try replacing the relevant binaries from 
release-1600 builds from http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ which should be a 
compatible build well enough, though PHP is not being compiled at the moment. 
You can also download an IIS based msi installer with CGI registration 
capabilities (not fastCGI) from http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/.

Best regards,

Tamas

Hey all,
Mapserver for Windows :)
I've seen a bit about this online but sometimes more information can be more 
confusing. I've used MS4W before and loved it but I have noticed the versions 
are getting far removed from the latest build and that concerns me. I would 
like to install MapServer (including the admin webpage (which made life a lot 
easier)) but the latest version - apparently there has been a fix to the 
PolygonSymbolizer stroke-opacity not working within Mapserver that I'd like to 
try out. I will be primarily using it to build a WMS service.
Can anyone suggest from personal experience which his the best route to go to 
get the latest Mapserver (including upgrades/new builds, etc) for Windows?

Cheers,
Ben
