There's nothing special you need to do to MapServer.  You do need to
know how to configure IIS 6, so you have properly set permissions for
(a) the MapServer CGI executable to be run as an application and (b) for
the account launching that CGI (usually the anonymous Web user account)
to have access to the files MapServer needs to read and write.

The users who have trouble running MapServer under IIS 6 usually have
problems because they don't know how IIS 6 works, not MapServer!

Does anyone have a set of instruction, or advice, on configuring
MapServer
for IIS 6 / Windows 2003. How difficult is it? Thanks.
