It's only 24k, so it likely invokes a DLL, as you suspect. I'd suggest copying that exe to a floppy and trying it, maybe it will give you a useful error message. I hex edited php.exe and found the 'This program does not run in DOS mode' error message that usually appears in 32-bit apps, so this may not even be possible. Good luck!
