CI on Windows IIS7 FASTCGI PHP Windows 500 internal error

Hello,

Have you figured out a solution as of yet?

I am having the same problem on IIS7 with FastCGI. CI works fine until I try to connect to mySQL then I get the same 500.0 error you receive. I have no trouble using php to connect to mysql any other time, just with CI.
