------------
Downloaded PHP 5.2.8 installer (Windows Binaries).  When trying to install, I get a message, "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A script required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

I tried both "IIS ISAPI module" and "IIS CGI" set-up types, and got the same error regardless.

Reproduce code:
---------------
n/a - Download/install issue.

Expected result:
----------------
Clean install

Actual result:
--------------
Error msg:

"There is a problem with this Windows Installer package.  A script required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

I just tried installing 5.2.8 and am receiving the same Installer message regarding a missing script. Is there a resolution to this issue? Seems it has been around at least for a few versions of PHP 5.2.x.

Thanks.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

I went to the http://snaps.php.net/ page.

Based on the descriptions as to which version to download ("If you are using PHP with IIS you should use the VC9 versions of PHP"), I selected Windows x86 VC9 (thread safe)).  I'm not sure about the "thread safe" vs. "non thread safe", though.  I selected the "thread safe" Installer, but got the following error when trying to install:

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with this package.  The error code is 2356."

Got it working by changing permissions on the apache directory so I could add things to the directory

Workaround for Bug #46581 namely unpack the zip version to the PHP installation directory then running installer, seems to work

Please try using the 5.2.9RC1 installer or the snapshots.

Release candidate 5.2.9RC2 VC6 worked successfully for me after experiencing the error with 5.2.8 V6 using IIS ISAPI Module.
