MS4W - MapServer 4 Windows

Introduction

Welcome to MS4W v2.0, the MapServer package for Windows. This package is intended to simplify your life if you are:

• a novice mapserver user who doesn't want to learn how to set up map server windows just yet ...
• any mapserver user who needs a quick and dirty installation on Windows ...
• you're giving a workshop and you want 15 identical machines quickly ...

In any of these cases, and probably more, MS4W can help you. However, a few notes about this package:

• This is not a true installer, it will not modify any file or registry setting outside of the ms4w directory
• This is not a true installer, it will not install to any location. It *** MUST *** be installed at the root of one of the drives on your system
• This is not a true installer, it will only unzip a package to your harddrive overwriting absolutely everything in its way.
• This is not a secure, stable installation and should *** NOT *** be used for production servers.
