Hi Lester,

Have you considered an option to simply install Windows in a virtual
machine (running under Windows or Linux, does not matter), install MS
VisualStudio Express and build PHP there. It would only take a few GB of
your HDD and not disturb anything.

Once you test everything, you can even delete the virtual machine and
your system would be clean, like nothing has happened.

Regards,
