Part 1: Installing XAMPP on Windows
1.
 
Go tohttp://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#641and click 
"XAMPP Windows1.7.1"
. Download the
Installer
options
.
At the time this article was written the version was:
"xampp-win32-1.7.1-installer.exe"
.2.
 
Run
the installer. If you want, you can choose to install the Apache and MySQL servers as
Services
,which will make them start automatically every time you start Windows. If you don't choose thisoption, you will need to use the XAMPP Control Panel application to start the servers individuallyeach time you need them. This may be desirable if you don't intend to use your servers that often.3.
 
Upon completion of installation, the XAMPP Control Panel will open (if not, click 
Start » AllPrograms » Apache Friends » XAMPP » XAMPP Control Panel
). This tool lets you startand stop the various servers installed as part of XAMPP.
