PHP 5.5 Installer

Question

I seem to be having a problem finding the PHP 5.5 msi file. I have looked carefully on the PHP site and downloaded what I thought was the msi file, but it was just the dlls.

I have found installers for multiple items (WAMP), but I just need to upgrade my PHP from 5.3.6 to 5.5, not install Apache etc.

So does anyone have a link to the 5.5 msi?

The version I need is non thread safe 86 (ie, for Windows server 2008).

There are no official installers (.msi's) for PHP, but there are binaries (they're what I use), which you can find here: http://windows.php.net/download/#php-5.5

Just extract it into some folder (say, C:\PHP), and add the bin folder to your PATH (if you want - most people do).
