I've got PHP and IIS running on a production server and several development servers with no issues. It takes all of 5 minutes to get installed. Do you at least have IIS running yet? It's only a couple steps after that, most of which are outlined in the manual. Contact me off list if you want more help and let me know what point you're at right now. ---John W. Holmes...
