I installed the ms4w_2.2.6.zip package, have ArcSDE server and SDK installed on the Windows XP SP2 machine, but when trying to use SDE as per the instructions, I get: msDrawMap(): Image handling error. Failed to draw layer named 'SDE Example Layer'. msSDELayerOpen(): General error message. SDE support is not available.
When issuing a command mapserv -v in the command-line, SDE is not listed. Is support for SDE 9.2 compiled-in?. Does it need to be compiled-in?. I see the c:/ms4w/apache/specialplugins/msplugin_sde_92.dll - is that all I need? If so, are more detailed instructions for SDE access in Windows available somewhere?. I had fewer problems in Linux after compiling MapServer with all the needed options (including SDE) but on Windows, the Install Notes seem to imply that SDE is supported out-of-the-box so that I didn't compile the server expecting it work. Thanks in advance. TioP
