Re: has anyone successfully run PHP installer on vista?

I filed a bug report:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43748

Feel free to add feedback if you have the same problem.


The workaround that worked for me was launching the installer from an
elevated console. Find the Windows "Command prompt" icon, right-click on
it, select "Run as administrador" and grant permission when asked. Once in
the console, type something like:

msiexec /i C:\Path\To\File\php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi

(You can autocomplete paths with the "Tab" key)
