Au contraire Its a port rather than a straight install and Microsoft do provide some support for the conversion including a tool to port from apache to ms rewrites http://www.iis.net/php I would be inclined to put the mysql on its own machine too. If you have to have two web servers on the same machine then its a simple matter to assign apache to a different port. Presumably the simplest approach would be to rewrite requests for the apache using a rewrite file. (No I haven't done it and I don't want the job sorry) Keith
