Use Zend Server CE instead. There is both a 5.3 and 5.2 bundles. Good luck

I had the same problem setting up a test server through WAMP testing Drupal 6. I was able to replace the PHP with an earlier version, though, to keep testing.

I also recommend http://webenabled.com for free dev hosting and autoinstalls of PHP apps, including Drupal.
Also, I just started using VirtualBox + VirtualCloneDrive + OpenSolaris on WinXP. It’s more work upfront than XAMPP, but worth it.
