Check the "snapshot.txt" or "news.txt" file, you probably had 5.1.6 previously installed?

If not, where exactly did you download it from?
I checked http://www.php.net/get/php-5.2.0-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror (from php.net/releases), which gives me 5.2.0 correctly.

The download was from
http://www.php.net/get/php-5.2.0-Win32.zip/from/this/mirror

Both the files snapshot.txt and news.txt show the php version to be 5.2.0

However the function phpinfo(); returns the following
PHP Version 5.1.6 and

I have multiple versions of PHP and only this version has this discrepancy

Please do the following:
Start->run->cmd
cd c:\path\to\where\you\extracted\php-5.2.0
php-cli.exe -v

That binary is 5.2.0, you however forgot to tell your webserver to use that one, not 5.1.6 as you had previously installed.
