What PHP do I download if I already have WinXPPro/IIS?

[Bullschmidt]

Hi, I'm an ASP developer wanting to give PHP a try.
What do I download on the PHP.net site?
I have Windows XP Professional and IIS on my PC right now.
Here are some choices (which are confusing to me):

If you want to use PHP on IIS then you want that last option .. (s'funny how the IIS option is last )

PHP 4.3.1 installer [1,028Kb]

though that has a few extensions missing all of the important stuff is there and it should do most of the work in configuring IIS for you.

note that the zip binary also has all the bits and peices required for it to work on IIS (the SAPI module and the registry entries) but you have to configure for IIS yourself.
