Issue finally resolved!
the problem I was experiencing with PHP was resolved by looking at the
IIS --> Web Service Extensions.
Apparently the path to the php.exe file was not showing correctly.
While the real path was: C:\hostingapps\php\php.exe
The Installer used: C:\HOSTIN~1\php\php.exe
The installer worked fine, but when I did manual install with the full
path,. it failed.
I finally figured it out, and now the php is working with the Manual install
with no problem.
I guess this is a 'bug' within the IIS not recognizing the full real path.
It is likely that nobody notices this if they install it into C:\php where
the path is so short it never was an issue.
A learning experience :)

404 means the server couldnt find that file. if the url was correct it
would be a different error. if youre url was correct AND the server
wasnt configured to execute .php you would see the php code as text.
your url is wrong.
but forget about that for now. just get on the webserver and browse
using http://localhost/ as the begining of your urls.
in IIS you have to go into the configuration to tell it what to do
when someone requests a .php file. you have to tell it to use the
php.exe file, try reading the install docs on php.net this is one of
the first steps.
