Hi Morris, What hotfix you are talking about? There is none to my knowledge required to run PHP. 32-bit PHP runs pretty well on 64-bit OS. This is what user configure. Pierre has already provided you a link to install PHP on IIS7. That should help. A recommended way of running PHP is using IIS FastCGI. If you want to have bare minimum problem, please try Microsoft Web Platform Installer. It will install PHP 5.2.12 for you. You can also go through below blogs of mine where I have explained things in detail. In particular go through the troubleshooting blog which will help you narrow down the problem. An important point, if you prior to doing fresh installation through Web Platform Installer or any other way, please ensure that your current installation is totally wiped out from PHP executable point of view as well as remove any handler mapping you have done in IIS or any registry tweak you have done to load the INI files. Here are the blog link: http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2009/10/07/installing-php-on-windows.aspx http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2009/10/08/upgrading-to-php-5-3-an-easy-way.aspx http://blogs.iis.net/donraman/archive/2009/11/15/troubleshooting-php-installation-on-windows.aspx Let me know in case you have any problem. Thanks, Don. -----Original Message----- From: Morris [mailto:morne@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 3:53 AM To: php-windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: 64-bit PHP binaries Thanks Pierre. I am going to redo it in the morning. Just a quick one if I may. There is a hotfix from microsoft and some admin tools that is suggested should be installed. When I try to install it it says I have the incorrect software version or operating system. have you come across this on your travels with php installs on win2k8?
