Installing Magento on Windows

[arathra]

Has anyone any experience of installing Magento on a server and getting it to work?

I followed the instructions and get an error message of

CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.

In other words, I'm unable to even reach the install screen.

Any ideas?

As a follow-up, I discovered that the same error was thrown by a very simple php script. I checked around and found this page from Microsoft:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;884764

In other words, I *might* be a bug which has a fix available.

Can jodohost comment on this? Is it possible to fix this?

Thanks.

that fix is bogus, it is typically thrown by some code issue

Thanks. I'm looking at others now; can't get Magento to do anything!

did you ever get it working?

No.

Instead I moved to Joomla and the free Virtuemart component which works brilliantly well.

One of the best moves I made.
