[ms4w-users] New user to MS4W configuration problem with Itasca/Demo

[Jeff McKenna]

Actually are you aware that there is a pre-configured Itasca demo 
package available for download specifically for MS4W?  Look for 
"MapServer Itasca Demo Application" on 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=downloads.html and use that.
