Some assumptions:
If you're using MS-SQL or MSDE, refer to the SetupMSSQL page
Note: If your using IIS 3.0 and there are some unuseual directory names (in one case the extra directory was named: _vti_cnf ) it could be that you need to remove the Frontpage Server Extensions. This is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q244221/
- You have basic Windows server administration skills and know how to install applications
- You have downloaded the latest version of Bitweaver and installed it on your hard drive
Install Software
Install IIS
- Open Internet Services Manager
- Right-click on Default Web Site and select New / Virtual Directory
- Follow the Wizard and answer the following
- Alias: bitweaver
- Directory: the directory where you've installed Bitweaver; for example C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\bitweaver
- Access Permissions: leave the default Read and Run scripts
- Finish
- Right-click on Default Web Site / bitweaver and select Properties
- On the Documents tab, click Add and add index.php to the list
Install PHP
- Download and install PHP from http://www.php.net/downloads.php (this page was written with PHP 4.4.0 installer)
- Follow the installer and IIS shuold be automatically configured for you.
- At this point, you should be able to browse to http://localhost/bitweaver and get an error page
Permissions
- Using explorer, browse to your Bitweaver install directory
- Right-click on the temp directory
- Select Properties
- Select the Security tab
- Click Add and add the IIS user (mentioned in the error page above); for example IUSR_xxxxxxx
- Then check the Modify rights checkbox
- Press OK to apply changes
- Repeat the above procedure for the storage directory
- Create an empty text file called kernel/config_inc.php and repeat the above procedure to assign Modify rights to is also.
- At this point, revisit your homepage http://localhost/bitweaver and you should get redirected to the installer
If you're using MS-SQL or MSDE, refer to the SetupMSSQL page

Comments
First question: Did you have to change to PHP via ISAPI to get it working? I did, and can provide instructions on how.
