Thanks for this information, Ken. I just want to make sure I've got
this right. The download includes many files, but you say to just
replace the mapserv.exe and any .dll's included in the download from
maptools.org? If this is correct then I will be replacing the following
files in my existing MapServer folder:
Mapserv.exe
Gdal12.dll
NCScnet.dll
NCSEcw.dll
NCSEcwC.dll
NCSUtil.dll
Libcurl.dll
Libpq.dll
Pdflib.dll
Xerces-c_1_6_0.dll (existing file is Xerces-c_1_7_0.dll)

Hi!
This problem has come up a few times in the last couple weeks for
several people. I worked through it myself.
It seems to be a problem with how the current windows binaries
available from the mapserver homepage were compiled.
Download mapserver 4.4.1 from www.maptools.org/dl
Use the mapserv.exe and the .dll'sthat are contained within the zip
files that are included in that package.
This version appears to have been compiled so that it is less
dependant on external dll's, using a larger exe and fewer dll's.
... and it works.
So, this is the 3rd or 4th time this has come up on the list. Think
it's time to take down/replace the current windows binaries available
at the mapserver homepage?
Cheers,
Ken Lord
