Description:
------------
I am a totally new user of PHP. I have just spent 5 hours trying to find the installer, which due to the incompetence of some bozo is not easy to find. Going to the windows binaries page, you open it, and all you see is the binaries for 5.4.7. Where is the installer? IT DOESN'T EXIST. Until you scroll down, you cannot find the installer. And no one who installs at first will select an older version. You always install the latest version. 

Can't the moron who maintains this page at least put a hint that there is no installer for 5.4.7 on the page? This is really annoying.

It is really amazing to see someone with such great writing abilities but totally missing the 
announcements about the end of the MSI (installer) support. Also the version is set as 5.3.17, and 
you certainly already noticed, there are installers available for PHP 5.3. 5.4 has stopped to support 
MSIs.

There is no bug here, however thanks for making this day less boring by posting such lovely report.

ps: I suppose W7 is meant as Windows 7. Please look at 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.php for easy and straightforward steps to install php on 
windows (IIS, apache, etc.) or use tools like xamp (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html) or 
phpmanager (http://phpmanager.codeplex.com/). For further love letters and support, please post them 
to the php install or general mailing lists (http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php).
