    If you've never gone through the installation process before, bpat1434 has posted a handy guide in this forum (link). As for which option you should download, we need to know a little bit more about the type of installation you're looking to do. Is this simply a test enviroment where you can develop your PHP scripts? If so, I doubt that you're going to need SSL support so you could probably get the Win32 binary that doesn't include mod_ssl.

    Another reason I like bpat's guide is that he recommends you download the ZIP package for Windows when installing PHP, not the automated MSI installer.
