>> You can see that MS4W-4.0.0 will be a full SDI for Windows environments, with ~40+ working mapfiles and over 1.7GB of files, empowering DevOps and organizations worldwide.  Also note that this is a major release for MS4W, meaning that some things have changed dramatically (PHPmapscript will now use the SWIG API for example), so please follow MS4W's README for specific instructions for the many plugins and mapscripts.

>> When installing, it is very important that (if you are using the .zip) your server must have the C++ Redistributable installed on it beforehand: execute the local file /ms4w/tmp/vcredist_x86.exe (alternatively if you use MS4W's setup.exe installer this is done automatically)
