Description:
------------
Installing AMP on windows 2003 (SP4).
I found a BUG in this version of the windows PHP,
apparently in the installer:
   PHP Version 5.2.6 (5.2 build 3790). 

We found the installation went fine on XP with this installer.
BUT on windows 2003 (SP2)I found these values on the PHPINFO page
after install:

   Configuration File (php.ini) Path: 	C:\WINDOWS
   Loaded Configuration File: 	        (none)        

PHP had IGNORED my PHP.ini file which, as instructed by the install 
documentation, I had carefully placed in C:\WINDOWS 

I found it would only load my php.ini file if I placed it in 
C:\PHP5 (which is the default install directory). 
Once the php.ini file was in C:\PHP5, after restarting Apache, 
at last I see:-

   Loaded Configuration File 	C:\PHP5\php.ini

quite a timewaster! :0)


Reproduce code:
---------------
install with Zip installer on windows 2003 (SP2)
using install directory C:\PHP
to reproduce the problem

Expected result:
----------------
I would have expected 
   Loaded Configuration File 	C:\WINDOWS\php.ini

Actual result:
--------------
   Loaded Configuration File: 	        (none)

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
