Hello Yves,

For the record, the correct instructions for connecting to both raster 
and vector SDE layers are fully described in the MS4W 3.0 beta7's README 
file, which you should have locally (or they can be viewed online at 
http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=README_INSTALL_3.0.html#sde). 
  I suggest you follow those instructions, and if there are any changes 
required to those steps please file a ticket in the MS4W issue tracker 
(http://www.maptools.org/ms4w/index.phtml?page=bugs.html).  Thanks very 
much.
