The MSI is a great asset for PHP on windows when it "just works." I remember older releases where that was not always the case. Recently, it seems pretty good with IIS. I can see the case that the MSI might be more trouble than its worth because it has to be maintained. Would it be possible to direct people towards phpmanager, webmatrix, etc on the download page as alternatives to the zip file for people uncomfortable with configuring IIS?
