PHP Script runs on CLI but not through web browser

I am running into an issue that I just can't seem to find the answer to. I have a Windows Server 2008 box that is running Apache 2.2.14, PHP 5.2.11, and MySQL 5.1.39. My problem is I am trying to call a VBScript that interracts with a database on another machine but I can't seem to get it to actually run the script.
Watching Process Explorer I can clearly see that httpd.exe spawns php-cgi.exe which spawns wscript.exe so it appears that the actual call is working. However, after a few seconds the php-cgi.exe process closes and the wscript.exe process breaks out into its own process (no parent anymore) and never runs the code or closes. I actually have to end task for it to go away. When I run the script through PHP Command Line, it works perfectly as expected.

This happens both with the vbscript being on the local machine, and on a UNC path of another machine. I stripped down the code to the most simple form I could, and even tried putting nothing more than a message dialog in the VBScript, and still I run into this error. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I don't see any errors in the logs, or through the browser when the page loads.
This exact same setup was working on a Windows 2000 Server machine so I'm not sure if this is something unique to 2008 or just a overlooked setting somewhere.
