Upgrade Package for MS4W 3.x

Description

This will upgrade your MapServer installation to the version 5.6.0 release.

Note that the Oracle plugin will work with this upgrade, but the SDE plugin will not.

Installation

After installing ms4w-3.0, extract the 5.6.0 upgrade package at the same root of your existing MS4W installation. You can verify that MapServer was upgraded by executing 'mapserv -v' at the commandline (after executing /ms4w/setenv.bat).
