PHP5 installation problem (Win XP)

Hi,

I have been using PHP4 for a long time on my test personal web server on
Windows XP Pro. Yesterday I decided to migrate to PHP5. I downloaded
binary installation of PHP 5.2.3 as a zip archive. I have unpacked it to
D:\PHP directory. I have created a "path" entry targeting this directory
in system variables and rebooted the system. I have modified php.ini
appropriately using 'php.ini-recommended' as a starting point. I have
changed "extentions" to "ext" in php.ini too. I have disabled all
extensions in php.ini for initial start (testing purpose).
I have pointed ISAPI filters section of IIS configuration to
D:\Php\php5isapi.dll and resterted IIS service. The library has loaded
properly as indicated with green arrow on the IIS console.

Unfortunately, while running info.php I only get the following message
in the browser:

"The specified module could not be found."

The actual page source is as follows:

<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>The specified module could
not be found. </body></html>

There is no other error message despite error reporting switched on:

error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = On
display_startup_errors = On

Can you give me any clue how to debug the problem?

Regards,
Ziggi

One thing to check is if you have any old DLLs such as php4ts.dll from
a previous PHP install in your path or in %WinDir%. These should be
removed.

It was removed - the problem is not linked to this!

An another reason could be a left over php.ini of the previous PHP 4
installation inside your windir (C:\WINDOWS\). If so, remove it or
replace it with the new php.ini and restart IIS.

Not this issue neither :-(

I suppose PHP tries to load something, maybe you can find it out using
Dependency Walker (see http://www.dependencywalker.com/).
