With recent progress of php5 campaign and minimum windows xp deployment I think I should upgrade to Appserv to wampserver mode.

Wampserver can use dual php mode, php5 by default with php4 as addon.

For Step by step process follow the steps:

WAMP Installation Guide

1. Run the WampServer 2 setup wizard.
2. Click "Next" on the first screen.
3. Select "I Accept the Agreement". For legal reasons, and your own education, I advise reading the agreement first. Click "Next".
4. Select where you want WAMP to be installed on the computer. The default, c:\wamp is a good, easy place. Click "Next".
5. Select any shortcuts you may want. Click "Next".
6. Review your selections, then click "Install". Installation may take a few minutes.
7. After a little while, you will be prompted to choose a default web browser for WAMP. I recommend Firefox, both because it's good and WAMP auto-detects it, saving you time. If you want to choose something else then you're going to have to browse for the .exe.
8. Another prompt will come up asking if you want to overwrite index.php with a new WAMP homepage. Select "No".
9. The next information you will be prompted for is SMTP data. Leave the defaults then click "Next".
10. Leave the box for "Launch WampServer 2 now" checked, then click "Finish".

Hope this may solve your problem.
