Description:
------------
If i exec the follow code 

$lbRet = exec("\\bin\\zip.exe /zipfolder",$laOutput,$liRet);
over a webinterface (Windows XP, IIS 5.0, PHP-ISAPI-Module)
i get an error like "unable to fork ...".

After reading the php-documentation and bug-database i tried to exec the following code with the same result:
$lbReturn = exec("cmd /c ..\\bin\\zip.exe tmp/zipfolder",$laOutput,$liReturn);

The IUSR_ has the correct rights for executing and reading the both files (cmd and zip).

Does this happen with some other webserver, like Apache?
(or if you run PHP as CGI binary)

No,
it happens only under iis 5.0. Under apache and windows 2000 it runs without any problems.

I tried it by running PHP as CGI binary with the same result

This is not a problem in the PHP.
The problem is related to the execution permissions over the CMD to the IUSR_machine and the ZIP exe file.

I do fork to GPG.exe in ISAPI/CGI modes. Using popen and proc_open.

According to the mode ISAPI/CGI the IWAM_/IUSR_ user must have read & execute permissions over the CMD and the EXE file that you try to call.

This sentence put the needed permissions:

cacls cmd.exe /E /G MACHINE\IUSR_MACHINE:R

Not PHP bug (see above comment)

This sentence is from an older thread here in this bug-database. I've read this thread and executed this command for the cmd.exe and the zip.exe file bevore i wrote this bugreport. 
Regards,
Stephan
