I'm in the middle of sorting out the windows installation instructions for the manual and the readme file for the windows distribution. What I thought would be a quick job, as usual, is much more complicated than I thought. The readme.txt, install.txt and the manual all contradict each other, and all are wrong in various places :( Anyway, I'm well on with the job, but I have an issue with the instructions on installing PHP with PWS on NT Workstation. All the instructions everywhere talk about editing the registry, but as far as I am aware, PWS on NTWS is not in the least bit interested in the registry - it uses the IIS metabase just the same as IIS 4 and above. The windows installer certainly edits the metabase rather than the registry when doing an install of PWS on NTWS, and that works fine. As far as I'm concerned, the instructions for installing PHP on PWS/NTWS should be the same as for installing with IIS/NT Server. Does anyone know something I don't on this issue, or is it ok for me to go ahead and change the instructions accordingly?
