Error v. 5.2 on Windows Server 2016

Reported by: Alberto Bianchi Owned by: Jeff McKenna
Priority: major Milestone: 5.2.1 release
Component: MS4W - Base Version: 5.2.0
Keywords: Cc: TC Haddad
Blocked By: Blocking:

Description

Environment:

  • ms4w version: 5.2
  • OS affected: Windows Server 2016
  • OS working: Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019

Problem:
Running mapserv.exe from the cgi-bin folder produces:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000a200)"

Investigation performed:

  • All required DLLs are found successfully (verified with Process Monitor)
  • Executable is not blocked by Mark of the Web (no Zone.Identifier stream)
  • MD5 hash of mapserv.exe is identical between working and non-working systems
  • Apache starts correctly; only mapserv.exe fails
  • ms4w 5.0 mapserv.exe works correctly on the same Windows Server 2016 machine
  • Issue is reproducible on multiple different machines running Windows Server 2016

The error code 0xc000a200 (STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH) suggests that
ms4w 5.2 may depend on a system API or runtime not available on Windows Server 2016.
