Just a tip: directory separator isn't the same under Win/Linux. Maybe there's some includes that using the Linux one (/) but under Win you need to use: \

If your newly uploaded package isn't written properly maybe there's something about /'s.

As far as your question about which configuration file is used, the explanation below is from http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.file.php. It is php-cgi.exe that looks for it, not IIS. Note that one of the places it looks is the PHPRC environment variable, which may be set in the IIS config file "applicationhost.config".

php.ini is searched for in these locations (in order): ◦ SAPI module specific location (PHPIniDir directive in Apache 2, -c command line option in CGI and CLI, php_ini parameter in NSAPI, PHP_INI_PATH environment variable in THTTPD)
◦ The PHPRC environment variable. Before PHP 5.2.0, this was checked after the registry key mentioned below.
◦ As of PHP 5.2.0, the location of the php.ini file can be set for different versions of PHP. The following registry keys are examined in order: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\x.y.z], [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\x.y] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP\x], where x, y and z mean the PHP major, minor and release versions. If there is a value for IniFilePath in any of these keys, the first one found will be used as the location of the php.ini (Windows only).
◦[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PHP], value of IniFilePath (Windows only).
◦ Current working directory (except CLI).
◦ The web server's directory (for SAPI modules), or directory of PHP (otherwise in Windows).
◦ Windows directory (C:\windows or C:\winnt) (for Windows), or --with-config-file-path compile time option.
