Windows 2003 server and IIS 6

I posted this on the Install newsgroup but got no response, so thought I
would try here as many Windows experts read this group.

Does anyone have experience of installing either PHP 4.4 or PHP 5 in
this environment.

I am quite experienced in writing PHP applications running under IIS 5,
MS SQL on XP boxes, but now have a project we need to run on one of our
2003/IIS 6 machines. I've downloaded the installer, and selected IIS 6
as the web server but I get an error saying script is incompatible with
W Script (or similar) then asking me if I want to make C script the
default for running Visual Basic scripts. We don't really want to do
this, as we run a lot of other stuff on this server written in VB.

As a result, the auto configuration of IIS 6 doesn't happen, I've tried
it manually but failed dramatically, I so screwed IIS 6 it won't even
serve .htm pages anymore

Any help very much received

n.b. I do know that once I've got php working in the environment, I have

to additonally sort the extensions for gd2 and MS SQL support.

I personally always avoid the install for php, and I never let any installer
touch my IIS config, as 9 times out of 10, they f**k it.

I suggest googling this group.

I recommend staying AWAY from PHP 5. We were getting alot of random errors
with IIS 6 and PHP 5. I finally went back to PHP 4 and all our problems
went away. With PHP 5 would get random errors like host header string not
complete or something to that effect and no php page would work. It even
affected non php pages at times. PHP 5 has a WAYS to go before it's ready
for IIS 6 it seems.
