Upgrade PHP 5.0.2 to 5.0.4

[xcuseme]

I have a Windows Server running Apache 2.0.52, MySQL 4.1.7 and PHP 5.0.2

I'm getting some Apache errors:

[notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.

apparently these errors are produces by PHP, so I would like to upgrade to the latest version. Can I expect any problems when I only upgrade PHP to 5.0.4?

If not; how do I upgrade? Shutdown Apache; run the installer or unzip the php files to the php folder and restart Apache?

Please advise. Thanx.

You shouldnt find too many troubles with 5.0.4 I had similar problems with 5.0.2 every now and then and the upgrade fixed it, mind you Im using linux and not windows. Basically you dont really need to shut down apache, so just upgrade PHP by using the installer, zip or compiling it from source once done I suggest making sure the new dlls are available (in other words replace the 5.0.2 with the 5.0.4 just so there isnt confusion later on) once that is done restart Apache and do a phpinfo just to make sure 5.0.4 is actually installed.
