[Geomoose-users] getting started, running the demos question

I just installed MS4W on a clean XP virtual machine.  Apache would not start; I 
had to install the VC++ 2008 redist package 
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF&displaylang=en)

Then it started and PHP reported:

MapScript
MapServer Version  MapServer version 5.4.2 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG 
OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF OUTPUT=SVG SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG 
SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER 
SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS 
SUPPORTS=RGBA_PNG INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

PHP MapScript Version  ($Revision: 9099 $ $Date: 2009-06-09 00:39:18 -0300 (Tue, 
09 Jun 2009) $)

so I'm encouraged.  I'll try GM next...
