    php-5.2.3-win32-installer.msi
It has the following md5 sum, taken locally on my system:
    4d042f649d9c264477e1b421c64c6435
I can confirm the same md5 sum.
    "The installer has encountered an unexpected error
    installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with
    this package.  The error code is 2738."
A few hits for a search on "msi error 2738" give:
"Could not access VBScript run time for custom action"
I would appreciate help with any of the following (roughly in my priority order):
    1.  How can I uninstall this and remove it from my system?
Try a System Restore point.
    2.  What is error code 2738 and what does it mean?
"Could not access VBScript run time for custom action"
    3.  What steps might I take subsequently to install without
        incurring this error?
Maybe test that any VBScript can run before trying this installer.  Maybe M$ is protecting you from running potentially malicious scripts.  You didn't get a "PC Guy Agent: VBScript would like to run.  Allow or Deny?"  Perhaps the installer from the PHP site is bad and M$ is not the guilty party.
