You can use WebPI 3.0 for installing PHP 5.3 and MySQL on Windows Server 8.

1. You can choose PHP 5.3.8 and URL Rewrite from WebPI.

2. Installation completed without problem.

3. I also choose MySQL for database support.

4. Installation completed without problem.

WebPI doesn’t work to install IIS on Windows 8 but you can still install PHP and MySQL component with it.
