IIS php, gd installation issue

[maever]

I have windows 2003 with IIS 6.0 with PHP 5.2.0 installed as ISAPI module, this works just fine.
as you could see here: http://209.190.6.210/cp/info.php

Now the main issue is gd2 lib will simply not load.
All basic PHP functions work fine, when i try to load any GD function it gives the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatetruecolor() in C:\XXXXXXX on line X

Basically refering to the fact that it doesn't recognize the GD2 lib as activated.

Now i know it normally is activated by remove the ' ; ' in the php.ini in front of :
it now looks like this:

extension=php_gd2.dll

My ext dir is also correctly set as this is the line in my php.ini

extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"

which is the correct dir for my extentions

now after changing this ofcourse i properly restarted IIS.
but without any result, GD is still not enabled.

I also tried other modules, nothing seems to show changes in the phpinfo() command.

Would there be any things i forgot ?
Maybe some access rights on the module files i need to set ?

any help would be greatly appriciated

When you installed PHP, did you follow the instructions found here: [man]install.windows.manual[/man] ? If so, you would have noticed these steps:

1. Add your PHP directory to your system's PATH environment variable. (FAQ found here)
2. Since you're using IIS, you need the PHPRC environment variable so that PHP knows where your php.ini file is. (FAQ found here)
3. Make sure you completely restart your computer after making the above two changes.
