Your steps look valid.  I don't have the answer, but if that was me I 
would try the following:

- I might purposely make an error in httpd_tfc.conf (such as have 
"AllowOverride None1") and open a Command window and execute 
c:/ms4w/apache-restart.bat .......just to verify that an error is 
reported and I am modifying the correct Apache
- I might also download another MS4W add-on package (such as the 
"PHP/MapScript Sample Application") and restart apache, and see if I can 
access it in the web browser
_ I would then just copy that add-on folder in /ms4w/apps/ and give the 
new folder a name, and copy/rename the /ms4w/httpd.d/httpd_gmap.conf 
file and restart Apache....that process should work if the other add-on 
application worked in Apache.

Happy holidays to all.
