PHP5 - Windows 8 install

I’m having problems setting up PHP on my new windows machine. I downloaded and unzip php-5.4.11-nts-Win32-VC9-x86.zip into a directory called php5.4 and then place my php.ini file in the Windows directory. When I call php with “php –version” I receive the following error:

C:\windows\system32>cd\php5.4

C:\php5.4>php -v
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\php5.4\ext\php_pdo.dll' - The specified module could not be found.

C:\php5.4>

The file 'C:\php5.4\ext\php_pdo.dll' is not in the distribution that I have and is not called by php .ini

So the question that I have is what should I be looking for next in order to resolve this?

Run php -i | more and look for the line Loaded Configuration File to verify which ini file is being loaded. There is no need for a php_pdo extension past 5.3, it is built-in by default. You just need to remove the line from which ever ini file it is coming from.

I was using my old php.ini file and not copying the model file that came with the new distribution.
Thanks for the help!

I tried two installs of the Apache server today and they both did not work.
I am running windows 8 and I am hoping someone will give me the exact name of the MSI file that they used to install a functioning compatible version with PHP.

Thank You.
PS
After a third try I got it complete!
