Weird this. Have got other php based stuff working fine (like LiveZilla) and phpinfo works fine on the same server. Have unpacked download to a web folder, have set entire folder tree to "Full Control" permission for IIS_IUSRS and IUSR just in case, but I get this when running http://localhost:7777/mw-config/index.php

Problem solved. There was no sys_temp_dir set up and that was where the issue was. I set one up in php.ini and set the permissions and bingo - all works fine.
