Ummm, yes, I have. You presumably mean the .msi file?
I installed

php-5.2.5-win32-installer.msi

on Vista Home Basic. It appears to be running with Apache (2.2.6)
(for which I also used the .msi installer file) alright.

Because I really didn't want Vista in the first place I've hacked it
as viciously as I can to stop it doing all the alleged security cr*p,
my user account is in the admin group (I think), and I've turned off
UAC. I think that's all I've done to it. But, as far as I remember,
I just ran the installer and it went straight through. I think it
even sorted out Apache so's it worked.
