Cubecart on Windows servers?

I've just installed CubeCart (the free v3 version) on a client's Windows shared server. Installation went fine, and I got as far as logging into the CubeCart admin area.

However, the application misbehaves after that point. Once logged in as admin, clicking any of the admin menu items results in another login form. This is definitely not because of cookie blockers or anything.

When I do go ahead and log in again, the app responds with a CGI error: "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."

I found a reference to this on the CubeCart forums, here:
https://support.cubecart.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=57

It basically says that PHP in IIS should be installed as FastCGI or ISAPI. Apparently, at least on this particular server, PHP has been installed with the plain CGI option.

So (assuming that is the correct advice) what are my options for CubeCart on a Windows server? Can PHP be changed to run as FastCGI on a shared Win server, or do I need to look for a different cart app?
 
It's a long time since I played with CubeCart, but with regards to using it, I would follow the advice given in the last paragraph of that posting:
Please note thet PHP is not native to Windows operating systems and we highly recommend using Linux/Unix hosting.

Bah humbug! :p

What's the most recommended shopping cart for a Windows shared server?
And please don't say osCommerce, I wouldn't recommend it to my mother-inlaw. :)
 
What about zencart
I have it running locally on win 2003 box running php using isapi interface, never had any issues with it, I dont recall having dramas getting it to run on windows
