Comment (by MichaelH):

 Regarding "The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a
 complete set of HTTP headers."  The problem has been observed on a number
 of hosts, including aruba.it and ixwebhosting.com, since the release of
 2.3.

 The version of wp-db.php at http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/893007 DID NOT
 resolve the problem of installing WordPress on an IIS server running with
 Server API CGI/FastCGI.     Using that version of wp-db.php does allow you
 to get to the install screen where it asks for the Blog Name and email
 address but clicking the Install WordPress button causes "Error 404 - File
 or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS)" message.

 The only solution that seems to work is either upgrading to a Linux host
 or getting the host to run PHP as an ISAPI extension.  Some hosts (e.g.
 using Plesk) allow the user to set PHP to run as ISAPI extension.


 Below is the first part of phpinfo from a recent install attempt at
 aruba.it

 PHP Version 4.4.1

 System  Windows NT WEBS1040 5.2 build 3790
 Build Date      Oct 30 2005 12:44:57
 Server API      CGI/FastCGI
