Windows XP Installation - How to Debug?

[Ed McNierney]

And for some reason an incorrectly installed/missing ZLIB.DLL seems to
usually be the culprit....

Hi Kirby,

That error is usually a DLL problem.

at the command line, run mapserver  ...  C:\..\..\mapserv.exe

If there are any missing dll's,  it will tell you. If it does not, then
restart your computer.  WinXP Pro SP2 seems to be a little more fussy
than older versions.

Restarting after a fresh install has fixed that problem for me a couple
times.

If that doesnt help, then use the version of MapServer from
maptools.org/dl

Cheers,
