Thanks for fixing up the wiki formatting. Yes, I think that it was
copied from one place to the other.

MS4W 3.0.3 uses MapServer 6.x which GeoMoose is not quite ready for. I
think that Jim is currently updating that. I would recommend MS4W
2.3.1. You can find it at, http://dl.maptools.org/dl/ms4w/

Both of these zip files are designed to be extracted at the root of C:
(MS4W should be done first) That will put a geomoose folder into
C:\ms4w\apps\ It will also probably put a httpd_geomoose_m24w.conf in
C:\ms4w\httpd.d\ which sets up an Apache alias like this:
Alias /geomoose/ "/ms4w/apps/geomoose/htdocs/"
GeoMoose will be found at http://localhost/geomoose/ (or whatever your
.conf file sets up). However, according to the README_INSTALL.txt at
C:\ms4w\, you should have gotten the main ms4w page at localhost. Try
making sure that you have gone through all the proper steps to install
ms4w. The read me covers a lot of things, like have the MS
redistributables if needed, etc. Specific errors and details can be
helpful for remote troubleshooting. So does going to localhost give an
error? Is there anything in the apache logs? In general, MS4W is set
up to extract .zip files at the root of the drive and have everything
working. Searching the ms4w mailing list
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/ms4w-users-f4995553.html may
help with particular errors or operating system details.
