[OSGeo-Discuss] Simple Problem!

[Paul Spencer]

Alizera,

a MapGuide 'mgp' package is actually a zip file with a different  
extension.  It is likely your web browser detected this and helpfully  
(!) renamed it Sheboygan.zip.  You need to rename Sheboygan.zip to  
Sheboygan.mgp, then all should be good.

Also, you will likely find more help if you take your questions to the  
appropriate lists, in the case of mapguide you can find the list  
information at http://mapguide.osgeo.org/.  This list is typically  
used for more general discussions.

Cheers

Paul
