The message says Apache doesn't have the authority to read or execute
moin.cgi.  

Which version of windows are you using?  Vista vs. XP, Home vs Pro, and
32 vs. 64 bit versions?  Is Apache set to run as a service?  If Vista,
you may have some luck by turning off UAC (User Account Control) for a
test.  The resolution to your problem is going to be dinking with the
permissions of the files and directories that Apache must access.
