After some weeks tweaking various versions of PHP and MySQL I finally found a tutorial that worked over on the IIS Admin Blog. The tutorial leads you through both the installation of PHP 5 and MySQL 5 and then through the Wordpress installation that will work even with 2.8.4.

The result is, well, a fully functional Wordpress installation. This website is proof of that success.
