PHPIniDir only works in Apache 2, I think...

Or the path which was compiled into the php DLL when it was compiled.

This was usually:
C:\php
C:\php4
C:\php5
or some variant on that.

I suspect this only "works" if there was no specific directory chosen
when php DLL was compiled, but it MIGHT be the case that Apache/PHP
would automatically look here via the Windows OS system rules...

Rather than guess, however, a quick look at:

http://php.net/phpinfo

output on your own server will tell you EXACTLY where PHP expects the
php.ini file to be.
