What I tend to do is to download the installer and run it as this sets up all the configuration (eg IIS)

I then download the zip file (Which contains a load of extra files eg PEAR) and copy the whole unzipped directory to overwite the c:\php dir contents created by the installer.

This might be a bit "cock handed" way of doing it but it works for me.

If its IIS server then I suggest (personal view) that you use CGI - I recently had a couple of applications crash my ISP host and changing to CGI solved the problem.

Hope it helps

Is it better to install PHP using the PHP installer or using the Zip file
version?
Should you install PHP as CGI or ISAPI?

I am looking for the pros and cons, someone told me not to use the PHP
installer because it is not secure.

Thanks,
