Brent,

Try this: http://www.wampserver.com/en/

I use it, and it works great.

Thanks,
Daniel
Thanks, I looked at that one before too.
This is a high use production site, so after we reinstall OS, I am going to=
install full versions of all 3. I can't find any info on the WAMP site abo=
ut limitations or security issues like I found on Xampp, but after this las=
t go-round, I am not interested in "lite" or tweaked versions just so it in=
stalls easier.
The question here was more in regards to Windows Webserver edition issues, =
if any. I can't seem to find any online, so I am surmising it is just a cor=
rupt install at this point.



Brent
