The MSSQL extension does not rely on MySQL in any way. The only required
DLL is ntwdblib.dll.

It would help if you could post any error messages or some sample code
that shows your problem.

The 'correct' installation is to copy ntwdblib.dll to windows\system32 on
the system that runs the PHP scripts. It's even better to install the MS
SQL Server Client libs. These are fouind on the MS SQL Server CD. This
will install the Query Analyzer that can be used to check the connection,
but it also installs tools that lets you configure the default protocol
(NetBios is default if you don't install these) and create Server
aliases.
