I thought you were building a local application, not a web-based app?? I believe you can still use PHP through WSH (instead of IIS) but you will need to do some research, though. I know that Perl is supported by both WSH and IIS (I have seen it working before) so I think that PHP and Python and other scripting languages will probably also work (if the correct translator widget exists). Go to the MSDN site (http://msdn.microsoft.com) and search for PHP. You may find a walkthrough on how to get it setup.
It also makes a difference if your app can function as a mostly-unattended "batch script" or if it needs frequent user interaction. If you need more than basic user input, you have crossed over from developing a script into the realm of application programming. You will probably need a GUI-friendly development package which implies something other than WSH (VB, VC, Access (shudder), Delphi, IIS/ASP, whatever you have at your disposal). Of course, the WAMP alternative is always there, Apache is FREE and comes with PHP. I have both IIS and Apache set up on my Win2K laptop (I usually only run them one at a time to conserve resources), So instead of IIS/ASP, you could use Apache/PHP. It's up to you which you pick.
