#39410 [NEW]: Installation on CGI mode fails

From: gschizas at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows 2003 PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: IIS related Bug description: Installation on CGI mode fails Description: ------------ While installing (with the installer) in CGI Mode (Windows 2003 SP1, IIS6), I get an error message at the end of the installation (There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package) Reproduce code: --------------- Event Viewer shows this: Product: PHP 5.2.0 -- Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: iisextVBS, location: C:\Program Files\PHP\, command: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisext.vbs" /AddFile "C:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi.exe" I found this again as Bug #26185, for PHP 4.2.1, but obviously it reared its ugly head again (#26185 is closed, but the behavior persists). Expected result: ---------------- Installation not producing any error messages, and registering PHP in "Web Service Extensions" Actually this is probably a problem with the fact iisext.vbs requires more parameters in Windows 2003. So instead of "C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisext.vbs" /AddFile "C:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi.exe", you should type "C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisext.vbs" /AddFile "C:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi.exe" 1 PHP 1 "PHP: Hypertext Processor" Use iisext.vbs /? to see the meaning of the parameters. The installer needs to be fixed. Actual result: -------------- Installation produced the error message, PHP was not registered, but all other things seemed to go well. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39410&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39410&r=mysqlcfg
