WordPress 2.5 and IIS error and solution

After installing WordPress 2.5 I started getting a line of error text in every page of the admin area:

Notice: Undefined index: PATH_INFO in C:\WebSites\user\webroot\blog\wp-settings.php on line 72

Notice: Undefined index: PATH_INFO in C:\WebSites\user\webroot\blog\wp-settings.php on line 75

To solve this issue you need to edit the wp-settings.php file.  Open the file in your favorite editor and after line 71 or “// Some IIS + PHP configurations puts the script-name in the path-info (No need to append it twice)” insert the following:
if ( isset($_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) ) {

add the closing “}”  just above the original line 77 or “// Append the query string if it exists and isn’t null”

With those changes the problem is solved. I assume this problem will be fixed in the next release of WordPress.
