The problem I had with installing the 4.4.1 Mapserver demo has now been
resolved, however for people that might come across the issues I have I
would advise reading the following 2 messages as this is what helped me to
get the 4.4.1 demo to work.

Hi Christine,

Yes, thats right.  That made it work for me on both a windows 2000 and
windows XP Pro SP1 installation.

There's no harm in leaving both the xerces dll's incase you have some
other application using the newer version.

Cheers,
