This is the same problem you have. It's due to IIS which doesn't really translate the PATH_TRANSLATED variable (it will pass php the actual script location + the extra PATH_INFO, so PHP cannot find the requested script on disk). We have made several patches to the php4isapi.dll to let PHP translate the request itself so it _can_ load the actual script with the correct PATH_INFO. This patch has been send to the PHP_DEV list (by the BUG-FORM) and a newer patch has been send to the maintainer of the php4isapi.dll, but for now they haven't been added to the php cvs. However, you can download the patched php4isapi.c file (for the php-4.0.6 release) and the compiled version (php4isapi.dll for php-4.0.6) from ftp://ftp.muze.nl/pub/ariadne/win/iis/php-4.0.6/.
