I finally fixed the problem by installing another freshly downloaded php install from windows.php.net. I think that the problem was that the php version in Easyphp is thread safe as opposed to non-thread safe which is recommended for IIS/FastCgi.
The extension is currently supported only on the following configurations:
Windows OS:
PHP:
注意: The WinCache Extension can only be used when IIS is configured to run PHP via FastCGI.

Is this supported on Windows 8? I downloaded the WinCache for php5.3 and the one for PHP 5.4. I tried on both and it failed in both cases with the same error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC11\binaries\php\php_runningversion\php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly
and yes, I am using php5.4, which comes with easyphp vc11 and I am telling IIS/FastCGI to look for php-cgi in the easyphp folder. That has no problems, except when I try to load this extension, which hoses php for IIS.
