Hello All.
I am having an issue with Movabletype 4.1 running on windows 2003 server with IIS (Perl 5.8). Everything runs fine in terms of the blog and the mt-check.cgi returns that everything is setup correctly. I am having an issue installing plugins. For Example, I follow the directions and upload the appropriate files to http://www.domain.com/mt/plugins/ and to http://www.domain.com/mt/mt-static/plugins/ and when I try to access http://www.domain.com/mt/mt.cgi
I get the following error:
CGI ERROR The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.
As soon as I remove the plugin files from their directories, everything works just fine again.
The paticular plugins I am trying to utilize are as follows:
MT-Hacks User Profiles Visitor Stats Instant Video
All of which look to be listed as compatible with MT4. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my mt-check.cgi output:

You're ready to go! Your server has all of the required modules installed; you do not need to perform any additional module installations. Continue with the installation instructions.
It sounds like you're removing all the plugins at the same simultaneously. If that's so, do them one at a time. Whatever the problem is, it's most likely due to only one of them, and you first need to figure out which. Then you should get in touch with the developer, as by your description this does seem tied to the plugins and not the core application.
