I created now a new application pool for the virtual directory which
contains the PHP script and explicitly set the user account to NETWORK
SERVICE. This is the same user account used by ASP.NET scripts. While the
ASP.NET script can access the registry the PHP script still returns the same
error. Meanwhile I also contacted one of the developers of the PHP extension
and asked him if he ever ran his sample script succesfully from a webpage.
If I get an answer I'll forward it.
