Does the file D:\maplab\maplab-2.1-rc3\config\gmapfactory.xml exist on 
your system? Does your web server have permission to read and write to 
it?

That looks like a problem with a mapfile you are trying to load. Ensure 
that the fontset file referenced in the mapfile exists and is 
accessible to the web server.

One option is to install ms4w, configure the apache httpd.conf file so 
apache runs on a different port than IIS and then set up a redirect 
from a certain URL on the IIS server to point to the apache ms4w 
install. That would get you around the problems you are having 
configuring maplab.
