Hi,

This is about the user the CGI runs...
In most cases, IIS user is IUSR_machine, a kind of equivalent to unix user
"none".

Due to security restrictions of the IUSR_machine user, it can't acces to its
environement variables. So you have to search in IIS how you can change the
user it uses for CGI access...

Good luck

Damien
