You can install php on XP and IIS without fastcgi.
Follow these steps: http://www.iis-aid.com/articles/how_to_guides/installing_php_5_iis_5_simple_steps[^] or these: http://www.webpronews.com/installing-php-on-iis-windows-xp-pro-2006-06[^]
Just note, that the installation is quite flexible, thus you have several paths to follow, especially on a non-productive development system.
