[Mapserver-users] Windows installation error

[Delfos, Jacob]

I'm not sure whether placing a directory in winnt\system32 makes it find all
the files in there. Possibly after a restart. Usually you'd have to place
the files directly into winnt\system32. When adding to the path, sometimes
windows still can't find it until you reboot. Try both placing it in the
environment variables and in an autoexec.bat file.

Well that takes care of that.  What is strange is that I tried putting the 
lib contents into Winnt/System32 and also tried adding the lib directory 
into the PATH environment variable.  Both were not working for me.  I must 
have been doing something wrong because I tried putting the lib contents 
directly into the cgi-bin directory and it works like a charm.

Thanks for the response,
Justin
