Thanks for the post but I was still having problems.

I found a video tutorial that might help your readers.

Go to http://www.videotutorialzone.com/web-technologies/php/installing-php5-on-windows-2003-and-iis6.html and you can get a pretty straight forward video that helps with this as well.

Hope it helps others like it helped me.
