Well, this kind of questions will get you nowhere.
XP sucks, we know that all, but the reason your installation is not ok could
very well be your fault. Hard to say.
Why did they fail?
What did you get going and what not?
Which installguide did you follow?
Did you read what php says about installing on www.php.net?
Did you install ISAPI or CGI?
Did you add the needed configuration to the IIS?
etc. etc.

Get the picture?
How can we help if you just say it doesn't work??
