I see you are using the PHP installer. Dont use the php installer as PHP doesnt need an installer and it does nothing if you are using Apache. I would recommend you to download the PHP5 binary zip package instead. All you have to do then is extract the contents of the zip file to where you want php to be installed to, for example C:\php


[a href=\"http://www.php.net/get/php-5.1.4-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror\" target=\"_blank\"]Download PHP 5.1.4 zip package[/a]

To configure Apache and PHP I would recommend you to read [a href=\"http://uk.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.apache2.php\" target=\"_blank\"]this section[/a] of the manual.

If you have any troubles please post back.
