I'm getting this error with IIS 6.0 (i assume), and PHP 5.2.3, and FastCGI

FastCGI Error

The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
Error Details:

Error Number: 5 (0x80070005).
Error Description: Access is denied.
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Any ideas, nothing revealings in logs (other than 500 errors), this is pretty much all of I have to work with. The script has read and execute privileged for the internet guest account; and, I've added read/execute privileges to the whole D:\PHP.

I followed this tutorial http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/247/using-fastcgi-to-host-php-applications-on-iis-60/ to set it up. The only major diversion is I installed PHP to D:\PHP
