MapServer: Install MS4W on a Windows machine, and take screenshot

Install MS4W (MapServer for Windows) on a Windows machine, and take screenshot.

  • MS4W homepage: http://ms4w.com
  • Use the *setup.exe installer
  • Install at the root of your drive (e.g. C:/ or D:/)
  • After installing, click on the shortcut on your desktop named "MS4W-Localhost" (which should open your browser to the MS4W local page)
  • Also, click on the shortcut on your desktop named "MS4W-Shell", and execute the following inside that shell window:
    • setenv.bat
    • mapserv -v
    • type your name in the command window after the mapserv command, to prove that this is your screenshot
  • take a screenshot of the command window overlayed on top of the MS4W browser page

Please also add your screenshot on the MapServer wiki at: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/wiki/MapServer-Google-Code-In

Also, please subscribe to the MS4W mailing list (subscribe at http://lists.ms4w.com/mailman/listinfo/ms4w-users) and send an email there to introduce yourself to the MS4W community. Thank you! :)
