SAPIs are DLLs that stay in memory as opposed to using CGI and pointing at the PHP executable that is re-run for every page request.
You may need to add your install directory (c:\PHP) and possibly the extenstions directory (c:\PHP\extensions and/or C:\PHP\extensions\eAccelerator) to the Windows path
I have been battling with PHP 5 and eAccelerator & Alternative PHP Cache for the last week or two trying to find a combination that works.
I'm not sure why this is not made more clear in the documentation but under IIS the only supported PHP "mode" is FastCGI. ISAPI and standard CGI don't work. I've tried both, though only with PHP 5. FastCGI is an SAPI that keeps the CGI executable in memory so it effectivly behaves like the ISAPI DLL. Here's the best installation documentation for IIS that I've found:
http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/fastcgi-php
The only place I've found this compatability "documented" is via the Useful Files download from PHP 5 EA downloads. There's a file in it called bugreport.php. The first thing this file does is check to see if the current install of PHP is compatible with EA. They explicityly list three different flavors of Apache and FastCGI. I'm not sure why this file isn't included with the PHP 4 EA Useful Files download but I would assume the same would be true.

I've been trying all sorts of combinations to stick with PHP 5, I may have to bite the bullet and go back to 4. I would love to hear how you get things up and running. I hope this helps.
