Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/install.windows.installer.msi
---

I've attempted to follow both the "Normal Install" and the "Manual Installation Steps".  As yet phpinfo() yields no output.  In fact when it is in a *.php file, IE can't even find/open it.  Seems like something is missing in doc.

Background:
(1) I chose the recommended download for Windows 7, the VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe (2013-Mar-15 04:08:07).
(2) I'm trying to install with IIS and FastCGI
(3) IIS does serve general *.htm sites

Specific issues:
(A) Under "Normal Install" instructions, there is a place where I am to "Run the MSI installer and follow the instructions provided by the installation wizard".  There is no obvious way to run it.  Using, Start - Run - msiexec.exe simply presents a help screen.  No *.msi file appears to be provided with the download = stuck.

(B) Using "Manual Installation", I made the changes in "Test Script", and also followed all the directions for configuration.

Since I haven't figured this out yet, I have no suggestions on how to fix.

Jeff

Test script:
---------------
changes to the php.ini-development file:

< ;error_log = php_errors.log

> error_log = c:\inetpub\temp\php_errors.log

< doc_root =

> doc_root = "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot"

< ; extension_dir = "ext"

> extension_dir = "c:\php\ext"

< ;cgi.force_redirect = 1

< ;cgi.fix_pathinfo=1

< ;fastcgi.impersonate = 1

> fastcgi.impersonate = 1
775c775
< ;fastcgi.logging = 0
---
> fastcgi.logging = 0
880c880
< ;extension=php_mysql.dll
---
> extension=php_mysql.dll


Expected result:
----------------
Normal phpinfo() output

Actual result:
--------------
blank

5.3 doesn't have a .msi installer... apparently... yet?... just the .zips, so 
the "Windows Installer" method won't work.

There's a page specifically for installing on IIS 7. Have you seen that yet?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php

1. Enable FastCGI support*
2. Follow the "Manual Installation Steps"
3. Create a handler for PHP*
4. Fiddle with permissions and other settings (IIS <3)

* Those are the two big steps you (seem to be) missing. Without those you just 
have a stock IIS installation.
