Description:
------------
Towards the end of the install process the installer prompts with "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." Clicking on "OK" takes you to once last install screen stating PHP 5.3.0 Setup Wizard ended prematurely. As far as I can tell the steps that are missed are modifying httpd.conf and mime.types for the Apache 2.2 install. This happens on two separately configured Windows XP SP3 machines. This happens in PHP 5.3.0 RC1 as well as 2009-03-31 SNAP

This happened on install of php 5.3 ORC1 and 2 Thread safe on Windows Vista Home Basic 64bit. for PHP 5.3 ORC1 it worked even though I got the error. For PHP5.3 ORC2 Apache 2.2.11 fails to start after install.

Please try to install using admin privileges, such as from an administrator console.
 [2009-05-19 19:05 UTC] mfaust at usinternet dot com 
The Windows user account is already part of the administrators group on both XP SP3 machines and does not have any domain restrictions or other policy limitations.

Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of jmertic
Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=288996
Log: Bug #47855 - Change the VBScript custom actions to be deferred and not to impersonate the installing user, so the apache config changes are made as an elevated privileges user. Solves problem of not being able to install with Apache under Windows Vista/2008/7.

Changed from using immediate custom actions to deferred ones that run with elevated privileges.
