Upgrade PHP version on Windows IIS

I am currently hosting a joomla website. The server is Windows Server 2012 R2 with IIS version 8.5

I am trying to update the PHP version. I have downloaded and installed version 7.1.4 on this Windows Server. In PHP Manager within IIS, I click on change PHP version and then navigate to the directory on the server where 7.1.4 is installed. I point to the php-cgi.exe file. After doing so, I receive the following message when I go to display our website.

This page isn’t working

pacsd.ca is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

The current version of PHP that is working is 5.4.24

Thanks for your assistance in this regards,

Sean

Thanks for the support. I did have to go back to download 7.0.19 as the 7.1+ version that I had tried before was not working for me. This has resolved the issue for me. I had already installed the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and the NTS verstion of PHP. Both valid points though. I appreciate the assistance.
