[mapserver-users] MapServer for Windows

[Tamas Szekeres]

Ben,

The packages on http://www.gisinternals.com/sdk/ are self contained the
mapserver-core.msi would be enough for the basic mapserver functionality.
You can also install the gdal plugin packages (oracle, filegdb, ecw) into
the same directory to add further driver support to gdal.

Best regards,

Tamas
