Php – 500 error on fresh install of IIS and PHP

iisPHP

When attempting to run a PHP file on Windows server 2012 and IIS, I keep getting a 500 error. I cannot find any detailed logs or anything. However, when going to PHP Manager for IIS and click check config, I get the following error:

Detailed Error Information:
Module    FastCgiModule 
Notification    ExecuteRequestHandler 
Handler    PHP55_via_FastCGI 
Error Code    0xc0000135 
Requested URL    http://domain.com:80/brkld3ip.php 
Physical Path    drive:\sites\domain.com\brkld3ip.php 
Logon Method    Anonymous 
Logon User    Anonymous

I installed PHP using Microsoft Web Platform Installer 5.0 on a fresh install of Windows Server.

I am new to IIS coming from Linux. So I am not "learned" enough in IIS to know what's going on. I have tried updating C++ redistributable 2012 update 4 as a couple websites suggest. Anybody have any other ideas?

EDIT: Another thing I checked was memory limit. One site suggested my memory limit needed to be upped. No change.

EDIT: Question: Does Windows have to be rebooted for PHP changes to take effect?

There's a fairly good chance you're missing the correct VC++ runtime for the version of PHP you're running.

If you're running PHP 5.5.x you need to ensure the VC++11 runtime is installed:

Make sure you download and install the x86 version (vcredist_x86.exe), PHP on Windows isn't 64 bit yet.

If you're running PHP 5.4.x then you need to install the VC++9 runtime:
