Once we get done with the troubleshooting, we will circle back to this post with the link to the forum thread so that the PHP on Windows DL has the context (and answer) for archiving.

I am not sure how appropriate is this DL to discuss all this. Can you post your problem in http://forums.iis.net/1102.aspx. I will reply there. Let's not flood people's email with unnecessary mails. You can also do PHP install troubleshooting using http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2009/11/15/troubleshooting-php-installation-on-windows.aspx. I will wait for you on the PHP forum for IIS.

I've gone to the Web Platform Installer and installed PHP. However, when I run my info.php (phpinfo()), I get a 404 error. Looking at the mappings extensions there is no .php extension defined. Shouldn't the installer have configured that?... or do I need to make a manual entry of some kind.
