I just installed PHP 5.2.8 (MSI package) on windows XP, IIS 5.1.
Selected IIS-ISAPI, always got error "The specified module could not be found." (firefox), HTTP 500 Internal Server Error (ie 7). Even though no extensions were selected.
Trick: Install PHP to C:\PHP (and not to C:\Program Files\PHP)
In your IIS web site properties, tab home directory, configuration, application mappings.
Remove the quotes before and after the executable path and the problem will be solved.

Windows Installer (PHP 5.2 y posterior)
Para crear el instalador de las últimas versiones de PHP en Windows se ha usado la tecnología MSI en conjunto con Wix Toolkit (» http://wix.sourceforge.net/). Esta aplicación se encarga de instalar y configurar tanto PHP, como las extensiones base y PECL. Además, también permite configurar muchos de los servidores web más extendidos, como IIS, Apache, o Xitami.
En primer lugar, se debe instalar el servidor HTTP (web) deseado, y asegurarse de que funciona. Una vez realizado, puede optarse por alguno de los siguientes métodos de instalación.
Instalación Normal
Ejecute el instalador MSI y siga las instrucciones que le indica el asistente de instalación. En primer lugar, se le solicitará que seleccione el Servidor Web que desea configurar, junto con algunos detalles de configuración adicionales.
Posteriormente, se le pedirá que indique qué funcionalidades y extensiones desea instalar y habilitar. Podrá indicar si desea instalar o no cada element seleccionando "Instalar en el disco local" ("Will be installed on local hard drive") en el menú desplegable que acompaña a cada uno de ellos. Al marcar "Instalar todas las funcionalidades en el disco local" ("Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive"), podrá instalar todas las subcategorías del elemento seleccionado (por ejemplo, al marcar esta opción en "PDO", se instalarán todos los Drivers PDO).
Advertencia
Se recomienda no instalar todas las extensiones de forma predeterminada, ya que muchas de ellas tienen dependencias con bibliotecas externas a PHP. En lugar de eso, utilize el Modo de Reparación de Instalación (Installation Repair Mode) desde el panel de control de "Agregar o quitar programas". Desde aquí podrá habilitar o deshabilitar a posteriori cualquier extensiones o componente.
Finalmente, el instalador inicializa tanto el fichero php.ini como al propio PHP para funcionar en Windows. También podrá configura algunos servidores web para que utilicen PHP. Actualmente es capaz de configurar IIS, Apache, Xitami y Sambar; si utiliza otro servidor web, deberá configurarlo a mano.
Instalación Silenciosa
El instalador también permite ser ejecutado en modo silencioso, muy útil para Administradores de Sistemas que desean implantar PHP fácilmente. Para usar el modo silencioso:
msiexec.exe /i php-VERSION-win32-install.msi /q
Puede especificar el directorio de instalación como parámetro al instalador. Por ejemplo, para instalarlo en e:\php:
msiexec.exe /i php-VERSION-win32-install.msi /q INSTALLDIR=e:\php
Puede, del mismo modo, especificar qué componentes instalar. Por ejemplo, para instalar la extensión mysqli y el ejecutable CGI:
msiexec.exe /i php-VERSION-win32-install.msi /q ADDLOCAL=cgi,ext_php_mysqli
La lista actual de componentes para instalar es la siguiente:
MainExecutable - ejecutable php.exe executable ( desde PHP 5.2.10/5.3.0 no está disponible; se incluye por omisión) ScriptExecutable - ejecutable php-win.exe ext_php_* - varias extensiones ( por ejemplo: ext_php_mysql para MySQL ) apache13 - módulo de Apache 1.3 apache20 - módulo de Apache 2.0 apache22 - módulo de Apache 2.2 apacheCGI - Ejecutable CGI de Apache iis4ISAPI - módulo ISAPI de IIS iis4CGI - ejecutable CGI de IIS iis4FastCGI - ejecutable CGI de IIS NSAPI - módulo de servidores Sun/iPlanet/Netscape netserve - ejecutable CGI de Servidores Web NetServe Xitami - ejecutable CGI de Xitami Sambar - módulo ISAPI del Servidor Sambar CGI - ejecutable php-cgi.exe PEAR - instalador PEAR Manual - manual de PHP en formato CHM
Si desea más información sobre instalaciones MSI desde la línea de comandos, consulte » http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx
Actualizando PHP con el instalador
Para actualizar, debe ejecutar el instalador indistintamente desde la línea de comandos o del entorno gráfico. El instalador comprobará sus opciones de instalación actuales, eliminará la instalación antigua, y reinstalará PHP con las mismas opciones que ya tenía. Se recomienda utilizar este método para mantener PHP actualizado, en lugar de sobrescribir a mano cada fichero del directorio de instalación.

On IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) and IIS 6.0 (Windows Server 2003) the following installation method goes very smoothly, but for three additional tasks.
Before installing PHP 5.2.x using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer, make sure:
C:\PHP does not exist
C:\Program Files\PHP does not exist (it will be created)
C:\Windows\php.ini does not exist (you won't need it there)
Run Microsoft Web Platform Installer allowing it to install FastCGI support and PHP 5.2.x.
After installation you should have PHP installed in C:\Program Files\PHP.
An examination of php.ini will show you will not likely need to change any settings, except the sendmail_from address. The Windows specific settings have been set, but are grouped together under:
; Default timeout for socket based streams (seconds)
Those are:
upload_tmp_dir="C:\WINDOWS\Temp"
session.save_path="C:\WINDOWS\Temp"
error_log="C:\WINDOWS\temp\php-errors.log"
cgi.force_redirect=0
fastcgi.impersonate=1
fastcgi.logging=0
In addition to having the correct minimal IIS settings already set in php.ini, you will find the Path has had C:\Program Files\PHP\ added, and the environment variable PHPRC is set correctly.
The three things not performed by the install but needed to run:
1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PHP\IniFilePath may be wrong. It should not be C:\Windows, but C:\Program Files\PHP, which is what is set in both the PATH and PHPRC. (This could be a left over setting from a previous install, but the installer does not correct it.)
2.
In IIS manager, under the default web site properties, Home Directory (tab), Configuration (button), Mappings, the entry for .php may be missing or wrong. It should be:
Executable: "C:\Program Files\PHP\php-cgi.exe" with the quotes.
Verbs: Limit To: GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
Script Engine checkbox checked
Check That File Exists checkbox checked.
3.
The installer will not set the proper security permissions for php-cgi.exe or php.ini, both of which need to be accessible to the default Internet user account: e.g. IUSR_machine name.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the C:\Program Files\PHP folder, right click, properties, security (tab), add IUSR_machinename and accept the default security permissions.
All of these seemed to take effect without a reboot, but a reboot is suggested. Note: Items 1 and 2 may be left over from previous installations and might possibly be rightly ignored by the installer, but if they are not corrected (at least check) you are going to have a problem.
Item 3 is not going to be performed by the installer. You will have to do it based on how you have security permissions set in IIS.

Two aspects of a typical Windows installation:
1) The default behavior for short_open_tag is OFF. You must edit php.ini and explicitly set it to ON. This means most developers will have their source code displayed rather than the script executed. short_open_tag OFF means the php tags must be <?php ?> and the shorter <? ?> will not be interpreted.
2) When using php as cli from the command line, Windows 7 will perform the file association in such a way that running a script from the command line will not accept additional arguments. Note, however that typing the full path to the executable will see arguments. As Windows 7 has a limited file associations GUI, the fix is to open regedit and change the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\php.exe\shell\open\command from its default value of "C:\php\php.exe" "%1" to instead read "C:\php\php.exe" "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4" "%5" "%6" "%7" "%8" "%9"

Apache2 on Windows (PHP 5.3.1):
Install VC6 x86 THREAD SAFE. If you do not see Apache in the list of webservers, it is because you downloaded the NON-THREAD SAFE installer.

Tryed installing PHP several times using the MSI instalation, which defaults to "C:\Prorame Files\PHP", and could not work at all.
The OS: Windows XP, with SP3
Web Server: IIS 5.1
Instalation Steps:
Step 1: Install the MSI Instalation, but make sure you select the instalation folder to be "C:\PHP" and NOT "C:\Programe Files\PHP\".
Step 2: Copy the "php.ini" fil from "C:\PHP", to "C:\Windows\" folder. Keep the default settings, so far OK.
Step 3: Go to IIS, Open "Default Website", Properties, and open the "Home Directory" tab, and then "Configue" buttton.
Step 4: Click 'Add" under Mappings Tab, and browse for "C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe" file from 'Browse', and add ".php" (i.e. without the Qoutes ""). Keep "Verb" settings to "All Verbs" and click "OK"
Step 5: Create a php file with : <?php phpinfo();?>, and test.
It should be working fine by this time.
Hope this was helpful to all.

Using the installer, I have been getting the "cannot run script" error on Windows XP and IIS 5.1. I used both the Zip file and installer filer to make it successful:
1. I downloaded the zip file (not the installer) into C:\php\,
2. extracted the contents to the same directory (C:\php\).
3. Downloaded and ran the installer into the C:\php\

I have just spent a tiresome morning trying to get PHP 5.2 / 5.3 installed onto Apache 2.2 (WinXPSP2) (Slight oddity in setup that program files on D: drive)
I have finally got it to work by using the following:
1) Getting installation script to use "Other CGI" (would be nice if it mentioned Apache - I believe it to be a fairly popular option)
2) Adding the following directives to httpd.conf (the Apache configuration file)
ScriptAlias /php/ "D:/Program Files/PHP/"
(This tells Apache to treat the PHP directory as script files/executables and alias it under /php/ for ease of use later)
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php
(This tells apache to recognise all .php files as of type x-httpd-php (equally you could call them anything you liked and after this mornings debacle I can think of one or two choice phrases)
Action x-httpd-php "php/php-cgi.exe"
(The tells Apache to use php-cgi.exe to handle files of type x-httpd-php (or .php files as we declared earlier). php-cgi.exe only exists if you have selected the "Other CGI" option at installation". A lot of stuff around on the web is pointing at php.exe which is now failing. Has this changed recently?)

run php as CGI binary, and add these to httpd.conf,
#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php "C:/php/php-cgi.exe"
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
<Directory "C:/Apache2.2/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Directory "C:/php">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
finally it works

I just installed PHP 5.2.8 as an ISAPI-extension for IIS 6 in Windows 2003 server.
I used the Windows installer, but had to make a few changes manually:
- Copy php.ini from the PHP folder (C:\Program Files\PHP) to the Windows folder (C:\Windows).
- Enable the ISAPI extension. (In IIS Manager under "Web Service Extensions" add a new extension with "Required files" set to C:\Program Files\PHP\php5isapi.dll).
- Add index.php to default index pages (select properties for "Web Sites", add it on the "Documents" tab).
