Hehe...why would that be?  Okay, taking the php-gtk install issues out of the thread as I need to deal with those seperately, what tools would be required? I want to:

1. Create the PHP programs and extensions and have them on the CD the client gets.
2. I don't have any Windows compilers or PHP Zend-y type things either. What would be needed?
3. Is php-gtk 2.0 close enough that using PHP 5.x would be adviseable? This is a stand-alone app so I don't need to stick with PHP 4.x. Not that I mind either, but most of the web-sites I've seen are on PHP 4.x.
4. Are there old versions of windows that PHP doesn't run on? This is a serious question--many of the clients are on software that is very old. I'd not be surprised of someone had Win 95 or even Win 3.1.

ciao!
