At my wit's end - For some reason abiword.exe will not execute via command line called via PHP4.4/IIS 7/ Windows Server 2008

Hi everyone,

Any guidance you can provide is much appreciated. I just need another pair of eyes or brains to hint me what else I should be looking at.

The problem description:
I can run the command line fine if I log in myself (Administrator) onto the server and run it. So I know abiword works.
The trouble comes when I try to execute the same command line through PHP.

Details:

I've provided fully security permissions anywhere from local admin, network services, everyone, iis_iusrs... To both the locaion where abiword resides and to the target location where the converted file is to be dumped.

I've also added abiword directory into the windows path and called abiword.exe by name alone (not specifying the path).

I get an error number when executed via php using the exec function. The returned value is -1073741819.

I've run other command line utilities via PHP from the same location and targetting the same target locations to see if permissions are fine, and that works fine.

If I run the exact same logged command myself on the server, it runs successfully.

I've made a makeshit log , and here's what I have: (a return value of 0 is desirable).
