IIS5 installation problems

I installed PHP on a Windows 2K server with IIS using ISAPI. I can run a straight PHP script like test.php, but it does not run a simple embedded PHP script in html code (test.html).

Any ideas where I messed up?
 
You need to configure IIS to send HTML files through PHP as well, though this will decrease your overall site speed a little. What many people do is use a different file extension for pages which are primarily HTML but have php code too (i.e. ".phtml"). I personally don't see a reason for this. If your document has php code in it, just give it a ".php" extension.

As far as the actual configuration, I know NOTHING about IIS. There are instructions for installing PHP with IIS in the "install.txt" file included with the PHP binaries. I think it's some registry settings for ".php" files. You could just make a new registry entry in that case.
