In other words, http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/php.exe?/autoexec.bat works. :-(

I think I traced the problem in the source code to the server not setting
the PATH_INFO environment variable. Perhaps this is a bug in PWS? Regardless,
this should have nothing to do with using/not using doc_root.

And yes, safe_mode=1 ...

safe mode does next to nothing on windows.  If running NT, use NTFS to get security.

Also, it is not advisable to have ANY language parser located in the accessable web tree.

try using unix style path in document root such as '/my/web/root/'

A fix is submitted to cvs to allow windows style path here.
