Description:
------------
I cannot upgrade my PHP version.
I already had this problem last year, when I tried to upgrade from PHP 5.3.0 to 
5.3.5; after a couple of mails, you dismissed me by saying my version wasn't 
updated and that I should download the latest version from the Downloads 
page...but that was what I had done and it hadn't worked. So, I stuck with version 
3.5.0 and waited.
Today, I tried to download latest version 5.3.9, but I got the same error - that 
you can see in

What can I do to upgrade my version?

Download the zip instead. Unzip into the install directory to overwrite the existing files. Never used the installer so can't really advise about that, sorry.

I tried downloading the zipped version, to simply overwrite the existing files, 
but I didn't understand where to put the files - and I'm a bit afraid of messing 
up current installation.

So back up the install folder first then. But I doubt it can be too strangely laid out because I've never had a problem just running copies of PHP arbitrarily from extracted zips.

Once I back up the original files, what do I do? I'm a complete beginner 
***moron*** in these cases
 [2012-01-17 19:59 UTC] anon at anon dot anon 
It's not moronic to be a beginner, it's moronic to not just try it and learn by experimentation.

So, what do I do?

Try installing as an administrator (right click the installer, run as 
administrator) or disable windows UAC

Microsoft Installers don't have the right-click ---> "Run as Administrator" 
option, it just says INSTALL.
And I have no idea of what is windows UAC

This is not a support channel. Please use the php-install or the php-windows  
mailing list to ask further support.

I'll be sure not to disturb you, pajoye, as you woke up on the wrong side of the 
bed.
