Description:
------------
In the install.txt file it talks about how the cgi.force_redirect variable needs to be set to 0 in the php.ini file, only in the "General considerations for all installations of PHP with IIS" section and not in any of the PWS sections. I found that I could only get PHP to work on my system if that variable was set to 0 and I have PWS4. Since it said nothing about this in the general windows or PWS3 or PWS4 sections it took me a long time to figure this out as I did not read the sections on IIS becouse I did not believe they were relavent. Although not everyone with PWS may have this problem I think it would still be a good idea to mention setting the cgi.force_redirect variable to 0 in the php.ini file, in the general windows installation section at least if not in any of the PWS installation sections.

The following title:
General considerations for all installations of PHP with IIS

Should simply have " and PWS" appended to it as that information applies to both.

http://php.net/manual/install.windows.iis.php

(Note: install.txt is generated from the same XML)

Actually, " or PWS" is more appropriate :) 

This bug is now closed, thanks for the report!
