 +**Caution - 500 Errors with Newer PHP Builds:**  Trying to install PHP 7.2 on either Server 2008 SP2 or Server 2008 R2 requires the use of the VC15 Binaries and the corresponding Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 (rather than Visual Studio 2015). One or both of these, that is either the PHP 7.2.x build or the C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017, seem to be incompatible with IIS7 and/or those older operating systems. When testing the install of PHP 7.2.0 VC15 with the C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017, the IIS 7 displays a 500 Error - Internal Server Error crashing the FastCGI Module.   Also on those 2008 operating systems, you may want to avoid PHP 7.1.x as well, even though PHP 7.1.x build uses a VC14 download that corresponds to using Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 (rather than 2017).  500 Errors may result using the 7.1 Binaries.
