Turning off User Account Control in Vista fixes this problem. Start > Control Panel > (Classic View) > User Accounts > Turn User Account Control Off My guess is that even though the installer is running as administrator, the scripts that run in the background are separate processes, and are therefore subject to "user account control". If you like the User Account Control feature, just re-enable it after install.

Trying to setup PHP as Apache 2.2.x Module. I'm on XP !SP3 English. Also worth noting, I don't get any error in System Event Viewer. I also want to note that everytime I run the installer (because I've also tried to set it up as Apache CGI as well), it adds the following block of text in httpd.conf: #BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL ScriptAlias /php/ "D:/Program Files/PHP/" Action application/x-httpd-php "D:/Program Files/PHP/php-cgi.exe" PHPIniDir "D:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "D:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2_2.dll" PHPIniDir "D:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "D:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache2.dll" PHPIniDir "D:/Program Files/PHP/" LoadModule php5_module "D:/Program Files/PHP/php5apache.dll" #END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL Over time, I ended up with 4-5 such blocks, all commented but one. Not a problem but still annoying. But there is one problem... Apache won't start unless I comment all "PHPIniDir..." lines but one. Finally, I'd like to point out that the changes made to httpd.conf don't include an association to .php files for application/x-httpd-php ("AddType application/x-httpd-php .php"). Once the installer is done (past the error message) and Apache restarted, I'm prompted for a file download when I try to access a php file. That may be what the script fails to do because of the error, I don't know... But in my present situation, it's something that it's not doing. I guess that'll be enough for now! :) Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-18 01:52:29] kfou at free dot fr I've generated a fixed installer that you can download from http://kfou.free.fr/php/php-5.2.6-win32-installer.msi. Or you can download the original installer from php.net and modify it using Orca to extract the (faulty) script PHPInstallerScripts.vbs, patch it (using http://kfou.free.fr/php/PHPInstallerScripts.patch) and re-import it again using Orca.

After I changed the locales (regional settings) to English (United States), the installation worked fine even w/o the need to run as administrator. Thank you Tamas for your insight. Helped a lot.

Especially when so many different problems are discussed within the same bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
