Access is denied

I am getting a c0000005 (Access is denied) error from a console program
after the console program executes. The error dialog appears to be blaming
the CLI (the .Net CLI I presume).

More specifically, I am trying to use the Netbeans IDE (programming
environment) for PHP scripting. It is not a programming problem, however. I
am trying to use the option to use PHP as a command-line script. The script
I am testing with is a one-line script that just has:

echo "Hello";

It is frustrating, since I am not sure who to blame so I cannot be sure
where to post this.

The Problem Reports and Solutions does not find a solution. Does anyone have
any suggestions for how to diagnose this? I provide details of the error
below.
