How to add new PHP version to WAMP

Question

I'm trying to install PHP 5.3.8 to work with WAMP (Windows).

I downloaded it from the PHP website, copied it in the bin folder, and added this line to wampmanager.ini:

Type: item; Caption: "5.3.8"; Action: multi; Actions:switchPhp5.3.8;

and:

[switchPhp5.3.8]
Action: service; Service: wampapache; ServiceAction: stop; Flags: ignoreerrors waituntilterminated
Action: run; FileName: "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/php-win.exe";Parameters: "switchPhpVersion.php 5.3.8";WorkingDir: "c:/wamp/scripts"; Flags: waituntilterminated
Action: run; FileName: "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.3.0/php-win.exe";Parameters: "-c . refresh.php";WorkingDir: "c:/wamp/scripts"; Flags: waituntilterminated
Action: run; FileName: "net"; Parameters: "start wampapache"; ShowCmd: hidden; Flags: waituntilterminated
Action: resetservices
Action: readconfig;

But it doesn't work...

After I edit it and start WAMP, those changes get removed from the ini file.
