Hi Jochen,
I've had similar issues to this before. Its a right pain to try and
solve. Most of my work on Windows has been with IIS and not Apache
specifically so these things might be IIS specific things, I'm not sure.
1. scripts need to be explicitly run from cmd
eg. exec("cmd /c ". escapeshellcmd("mybatscript.bat"));
2. File Permissions need to be set correctly for the web user to allow
execution. If your using the example above, cmd.exe needs execute
permission.
3. The directory where the file are to be saved needs write access to the
web user.
4. If the program creates temp files, write permission needs to be granted
to the place where those files are created.
Hope this helps.
