You probably need to go into the IIS console ( mmc ) and go to properties on the directory in question and make sure either the "execute" or "script" checkbox is checked. You may also need to verify the actual file permissions, but I believe this is more of a configuration issue.

I've only setup php on unix systems, so I am at a loss here. HTTP Error 403 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden This error can be caused if you try to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.
