IIS 3 and below is effectively the same as PWS on win 9x platforms and uses
the registry for configuration. IIS4 and above uses a thing called the IIS
metabase for configuration, and is effectively the same as PWS on NTWS and
above.

AFAIK, the PHP ISAPI module is not officially supported on IIS3, but on IIS 4
the configuration differs in that the script mapping points to the
php4isapi.dll rather than php.exe and also that php4isapi.dll is added to the
list of ISAPI filters so that it can get its hands on authentication
information.

That is what the installer does. It seems to work on the machines I've tested
it on. If it should do more or something else, let me know so I can update
the installer.
