First of all, what are their requirements? If it put PHP on windows, and not MSSQL server involved, then just install XAMPP. It works. That being said some considerations for PHP on IIS: - Microsoft is recommending a nonthreadsafe compile of PHPanf the FastCGI module. CGI/FastCGI doesn't need thread support, and you get a speed boot by not having the thread checking built in. - If you need MSSQL server, use the microsft supplied driver. - I've had lots of problems with the microsoft web platform installer on windows 7 ultimate. SOAP driver does not seem to work at all. The mssql driver requires msvcrt71.dll which is not distributed with the WPI. The MSIs from windows.php.net seem to work
