The answer to [will MapGuide install on my version of windows?] boils down to the following: * Is my version of windows supported by the Visual C++ 2008 Runtime Library? * Is my version of windows supported by the Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Library? * If choosing IIS, does my version of windows

Apache configured installs are mostly self-contained so 32-bit installs on 64-bit windows shouldn't be a problem. 32-bit WOW installs are broken at the moment (I just discovered, doing a 32-bit install on 64-bit Windows 7), but can be easily worked around by setting the Enable 32-bit applications

Besides adaptation to newer Maestro APIs, the core tile generation logic in MgCooker has not changed since the very first release (before I started on it). The estimation is obviously wrong. I just can't tell you where at the moment. - Jackie -- View this message in context:

Changing the product name to something common and generic is a sure-fire recipe to kill your googlability/SEO. MapGuide is unique. Infrastructure, Map and Server in any combination is not. The acronym is even worse. Why would you want to share an acronym with a dead ESRI product of all things?
