I am trying to install PHP on IIS 8.
Every time I start the PHP installation, PHP installs but I get the follow error:
IIS only runs on Windows, but keep in mind that running PHP on IIS is not the same as running PHP on Windows. There are options to run PHP on Windows like XAMPP or WampServer. However, these two options make some additional choices for you. They run Apache as a web server and use MySQL or MariaDB as a database server.
As Abhi says: fire up regedit.exe and change the decimal value of Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\MajorVersion
from 10 (as set by Windows 10) to e.g. 8. Installer should work now. Afterwards, you can set the value back to 10 (or whatever value your Windows env. had at first).
Tip: For quick navigation, paste the path Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters
into the address-bar of Registry Editor and hit Enter.
Also, for me on Windows 10, I had to enable .NET Framework 3.5
> Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation
for the installer to progress. Without this enabled, installer would just hang at step 1. Requires reboot.
Installation of PHP Manager for IIS via the Web Platform Installer requires .NET 3.5 to work properly. Install .NET 3.5 first, and you should be all set.
