[ms4w-users] Mapserver broken? ms4w 1.5.2

[Ben Madin]

I have applied the patch referred to in Bugzilla Bug 1409 [MS4W-PHP] 
Application error php.exe
and appeared to be OK,
but when I downloaded the ms4w 1.5.2 I have been unable to start  
Mapserver, getting a message about a missing library. I have tried  
downloading that library and restarting the computer, but it didn't  
help.
Jacob Delfos has been quite helpful, but I am not an expert on this  
stuff by any stretch, and was quite fond of the drag and work  
approach of ms4w, so would rather see if that can be fixed.

clicking on cgi-bin/mapserv.exe
The web page gave a message about a configuration error, but the  
error log showed :

Premature end of script headers: mapserv.exe, referer : http:// 
10.0.1.2/index.phtml

When I follow http://10.0.1.2/phpinfo_mapscript_48.php

I get :

Warning: dl() [function.dl.html]: Unable to load dynamic library '/ 
ms4w/Apache/php/extensions/php_mapscript_48.dll' - The specified  
module could not be found. in C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs 
\phpinfo_mapscript_48.php on line 2

as the library is in this location, I assume that this is a problem  
related to Mapserver above.

When I just double clicked on the mapserv.exe I got this message

mapserv.exe - Unable to locate Component

This application has failed to start because MSVCR71D.dll was not  
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Also with Dependency Walker,  MSVCP71D.dll was missing. It might be  
the same thing, I am not sure!

cheers

Ben
