How do I connect to MS-SQL from PHP in XAMPP 1.7.4?

Does anyone have any clue how to connect to a Microsoft SQL server from XAMPP 1.7.4 running on Windows?
I have some silly PHP application that has to connect to a Microsoft SQL server to get some decent reports from SCCM.
It worked OK on XAMPP 1.7.3 after removing some comments from the ini files, but it looks like support for MS-SQL was completely removed from XAMPP 1.7.4.
There is no way I can get it to work on Windows.
I noticed that the Linux version of XAMPP 1.7.4 includes FreeTDS, so I guess that may possibly work.
Unfortunately it is no option for me to migrate to Linux (for now)
I really hope someone can tell me how to do this.
If not, I am stuck with 1.7.3 for ever.
