Evenif you are a newbie for PHP, it is better to do the manual installation. It involves only 6 simple steps.
I am assuming your OS is windows 2000.
1) Download php 4.3.10 full version.
2) Extract it to c:/php (or any convenient folder - the path folders should not have spaces in their names).
3) include c:/php in the path. You can do this by modifying the corresponding environment variable.
4) copy php.ini-recommended to system folder (normally c:\windows\system32) and rename it to php.ini
5) open IIS manager. Get properties of default web site. Open home directory tab. Click the configuration button towards the bottom of the form. In the app mappings tab, add a new extension.
The executable : C:\php\php4isapi.dll
extension : .php
verbs - limit to : GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
check the checkboxes labelled "script engine" and "check that file exists". Restart WWW publication service.
6) That's all. Now, create a sample php file. Put it in a folder under root folder. Run it to test.
If the OS is different, the steps are similar. The installation manual explains all of them.
