In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how to install PHP and FastCGI on IIS7 in just a few minutes, taking advantage of the Web Platform Installer. Look for other screencasts on PHP and Microsoft interop on http://www.robbagby.com.
Web Platform Installer is now on version 3.0, his download links are obsolete but if you google (or Bing? ;-) for "web platform installer" you'll find it.
His enthusiasm for WPI's ability to automatically download & install dependencies is going to seem kind of pathetic to people who saw that on Linux uhm... at least 5 years ago?
Hi, I'm a teenage programmer, head developer, and soon to be CEO (once we finish the paper work) for the teenage development group, Soulz Inc. I just wanted to say thank you for this video from my team, Now we are able to host our website own websites in php using our server thanks to you.
Rob, wanted to thank you online so everyone could see just how valuable your video instructions were to me. To make a long story short, been trying for over four days to get PHP installed on Webserver 2008 R2 with IIs7. Tried dozens upon dozens of sites, which all recommended manual downloads and then lines of code changing and directory changes to make everything work. Then I stumbled upon your site and within 5 minutes I am up and running. You rock!!!!
Thanks for the information!!! i was also Searching for a CMS System and thanks for you're help I've Found it :) Thank you allot!!!

Thank you for this video. I have tried the instructions on iis.net and other sites, and this is the easiest method by far.
