As James mentioned you can run the Apache/MySQL/PHP stack on windows. Which is a great solution.
Mysql, PHP, and Apache are all cross compiled to run natively on most platforms. WAMP server currently provide the whole stack at 64bits! http://www.wampserver.com/en/#wampserver-64-bits If that's not do-able. IIS can actually run PHP nowadays. I don't know what database libraries are available for PHP on IIS, but sqlite can be accessed via ODBC.
