The cause is: set phpdir=c:\php set phppath=php-5.6.19-nts-Win32-VC11-x86 used as: '%phpdir%\%phppath%\php-cgi.exe' in several lines when phppath is empty, i.e. set 'phppath='. The test script below corrects this, and has some added remarks. Test script: --------------- @echo off echo **************************************************** echo * * echo * IIS Configurator * echo * * echo * Adds elements to IIS configuration enabling PHP. * echo * * echo **************************************************** REM download .ZIP file of PHP build from http://windows.php.net/downloads/ REM decompress the .zip file to your chosen location, and set phppath below REM to the location of php-cgi.exe in your decompressed download. REM path to directory you decompressed PHP .ZIP file into (no trailing \) set phppath=c:\php REM Check for broken lines if you copied this into a batch file from the REM documentation.
