[mapguide-users] Still tortured by lack of coordinate systems- on windows this time

[Jo Cook]

Thanks for this,

Of course once I had sent my despairing question to the list, after weeks of
battling with this issue, it sorted itself out (in both windows and
linux!!!) and I don't for the life of me know what fixed it. It's good to
see this set out in black and white though because in the various posts
before it wasn't exactly clear what files should be where and what
environmental variables should be set.

Now I just have to try the same thing with MGOS 2.02...
