Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

Please try the next PHP 5.1-dev (Unstable) snapshot dated after this report.
I don't anticipate this fixing the problem, but it should give a reason why the instantiation failed, and we can move on from there.

I've added even more verbosity; please try the next snapshot, which is due in about 45 minutes--it takes about that long to build, so this change might not quite make it into that snap.
If you try it and see no different error message, wait for the next snap after that.

little more verbose output using:

ok, I've added even more verbosity; please try the next snap in about 2 hours time.

What is the english translation of that error message?

[2004-08-04 13:56 UTC] mike at ziebeck dot net

Ausnahmefehler aufgetreten = exception error happened

sounds like:
 something went wrong, but i don't know what :(

[2004-08-04 15:03 UTC] wez@php.net

:-(
Suffice to say that it does work here for me.
Is there anything else you can try to troubleshoot ?
Service packs/upgrades, permissions and so on.
Without more information, we can't find the cause of the problem.

There's been a typo: 

c:\Programme\php\php5.php.ini
              is
c:\Programme\php\php5.ini

Sorry for that.

Though this might not help a lot, it might still be interesting to note that I continue to have the exact same problem, under

Windowx XP, English, SP1 + all available patches
with
PHP 5.1.0-dev, Snapshot Aug 5 2004 04:15:53 
and .NET Framework 1.1

[2004-08-05 09:25 UTC] mike at ziebeck dot net

I've additionaly tryed to get the example with:
PHP 5.1.0-dev (cli) (built: Aug  4 2004 08:29:44)
running on a development machine.

MS .NET Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect
MS .NET Frame Work SDK 1.1
MS Platform SDK February 2003

same results :(

[2004-08-07 22:40 UTC] christian at wenz dot org

FWIW, I can reproduce it with


Windowx XP Pro, German, SP1 + all available patches
with
PHP 5.1.0-dev, current snapshot as CGI and .NET Framework 1.1
IIS 5.1


Windowx XP Pro, German, SP1 + all available patches
with
PHP 5.1.0-dev, current snapshot as CGI and .NET Framework 1.1
Apache 1.3.31


Windowx XP Home, German, SP1 + all available patches
with
PHP 5.1.0-dev, current snapshot as CGI and .NET Framework 1.0SP1
Apache 2.0.50


Windowx XP Pro, German, SP1 + all available patches
with
PHP 5.1.0-dev, current snapshot as CGI and .NET Framework 1.0

I'll try to test it on more systems tomorrow.

alas, after a reboot (!) it works with both 5.0.1-dev and 5.1.0-dev. It even works under XP SP2 ;-). Great job, guys!
