To get MapServer working on IIS:

1. After MapServer is installed, make sure that its directory is a virtual
directory for IIS.

2. In the IIS management console, click on Web Service Extensions and make
sure that the Extension "All Unknown CGI Extensions: are "Allowed"

3. Make sure proj is installed in a directory.  I prefer c:\proj

4. Click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment Variables and add
the proj and Mapserver diectories to the path.

You are done.
