First: go to www.php.net and click on downloads, or go directly to http://www.php.net/downloads.php
http://windows.php.net/download
Choose the latest PHP x.y.z (Current stable)
For IIS, download the non-threadsafe zip file
Extract the downloaded zip file to c:\PHP
Download PHP-Manager for IIS 7 (that's an IIS-controlpanel-extension, also works for IIS 8) from https://github.com/phpmanager/phpmanager/releases (make sure you choose the right bitness (32 vs. 64)
Open the IIS management console (inetmgr.exe)
Double-click PHP-Manager and click on "register new PHP installation"
(note to self: never remove the PHP directory, otherwise "rien ne va plus")
- Choose php-cgi.exe and click ok
- Click on "Configure error reporting". Check "Development machine" and click apply, then click "back to main page"
- Go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot and create a new textfile called "phpinfo" and put this content into it :
<?php
phpinfo(); // Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
?>
Create a new file called hello.php in c:\inetpub\wwroot with this content
<?php echo "Hello World !" ; ?>
10. open cmd.exe and execute "iisreset"
- Use your browser of choice, and navigate to those pages:
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
http://localhost/helloworld.php
Now IIS is (should be) serving PHP.

As far as I can see there are no MSI installers for PHP 5.4.x available from http://windows.php.net/
Additionally, since PHP 5.3 there are no MSI installers available that work together with the binaries from apache.org and you have to use the binaries from http://www.apachelounge.com/
Did you get your version of PHP from? http://windows.php.net/download/ I've just downloaded the ZIP from there and it contained php-win.exe
Check you've not accidentally downloaded the php source
