Hi, If you download the windows installation from www.php.net/downloads and you have IIS installed then you shouldn't need to do any registry editing or anything complex.
You need to put your xxxx.php script files you've created in the web root folder not the sytem root, this is usually c:\inetpub\wwwroot To open the php file you need to open internet explorer and point it at http://localhost/xxxx.php, if you simply drag and drop it into explorer, or double click it, it won't go through the php server side scripting engine. You can check that the .php extension mapping has been set up by going to control panel->administrative tools->internet information services Expand the node that has your computer's name on, right click on "Default Web Site" and select "Properties" Click the "Home Directory" tab Next click the "Configuration" button near the bottom right of the page A list of all the application mappings is displayed Probably right at the bottom of the list is: .php C:\Progra~1\php\php.exe if it ain't there then click "Add" and add it to the list.
