theoretically I should see info about my php installed? but it askes to
download the file, I am running php as a standalone, what did I do wrong?

If you are running PHP in standalone mode, by definition this means it can only be run from the command line, and can't be accessed through a browser.

See http://www.php.net/manual/features.commandline.php

If you want to access a page from a browser, you must set up a web server on your computer, e.g. IIS or Apache. Hopefully the book you're using has some info on this.

See http://www.php.net/manual/install.windows.php
