Description:
------------
This is easy, and I fixed it myself. I installed the V6 thread-safe version (Windows) with the Apache2.2x module config option, and restarted Apache, which caused an Apache crash. The problem was caused by the httpd.conf added fragment which wrongly uses the Unix path element separator - changing the '/' to a '\' fixed the problem, and I could also see the test hello.php output as expected.

#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir "C:/Program Files/PHP/"
LoadModule php5_module "C:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL

(change all '/' to '\' to prevent crashes in Windows)

Test script:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
See description

Actual result:
--------------

Seems like its intended in the win-installer, see:
PHPInstallerScripts{XXX}.vbs

strPHPPath = Replace(strInstallDir,"\","/")

Guess that should be reverted, but I don't have karma for that part. Pierre? :)
