installation problems..

Post by Benjipie »

Hi,

I'm glad i found this site, looks like a great resource I hope one day i can post answers instead of questions!!

I am completely new to php/dynamic web development and I'm having trouble installing PHP (php-5.2.7-win32-installer) on Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. When i run the installer (I've tried double clicking and right clicking>run as administrator) i get the following error message:

"There is a problem with this windows installer package. A script required for this install to complete could not run. Contact your support personnel or product vendor"

I've searched on the PHP site and other forums but cant work out whats wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks...
(im also using apache_2.2.10-win32-x86-no_ssl as a web server)

You might want to try an all-in-one package like xampp. Simply installing php won't install any web server or db server.
