Hi all,
    I am having errors with the installation of MapServer 4.0. I =
followed the steps:
1-Downloaded the binary MapServer 4.0 for Windows. My platform is =
Windows XP with IIS 5.0.=20

2-Extract the files to C:\Documents and =
Settings\mario\MyInstall\MapServer

3-Copy \Proj to C:\Proj

4-Add C:\Documents and Settings\mario\MyInstall\MapServer\lib to the =
path variable of my Windows.

5-Create the virtual directory Scripts of my Default Web Site because it =
was not created. I pointed it to the folder IIS C:\Inetpub\Scripts.

6-Copy mapserv.exe to C:\Inetpub\Scripts.

7-Opened a command prompt window in C:\Inetpub\Scripts and typed: =
mapserv.exe. I got the following error: "This application failed to =
start because LIBPQ.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may =
fix this problem."

8-tried to execute from the browser and get the following error: "CGI =
Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set =
of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:"  And no header is shown =
at all.

    Can anybody help me on how to proceed to get a correct =
installation?.
    Regards,
                Mario
