10132,PHP Warning at menu-header.php line 118,creativenadir,,"After performing a new installation of 2.8-IIS release on machine running PHP under IIS' FastCGI, cannot access wp-admin pages;  returns error ""open_basedir restriction in effect..."" and implicates line 118 of wp-admin/menu-header.php.  Checking php.ini, I ensured that safe mode was off, commented-out the open_basedir parameter, and restarted IIS to no avail.

On a whim, I replaced line 118 with its 2.7.1 version, and the problem disappeared!  Moreover, after it began working, I returned line 118 to its previous version and it continued to work without error from then on.
  
Version 2.8:
{{{
 if ( ( ('index.php' != $sub_item[2]) && file_exists(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ""/{$sub_item[2]}"") ) || ! empty($menu_hook) ) {

to Version 2.7.1:
{{{
if ( ( file_exists(WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ""/{$sub_item[2]}"") && ('index.php' != $sub_item[2]) ) || ! empty($menu_hook) ) {
