Many people know from their own experience that it's not easy to install an Apache web server and it gets harder if you want to add MySQL, PHP and Perl.

Vista Note: Because missing or insufficient write permissions in the c:program files folder of the default vista installation, we recommend to use alternate folders for XAMPP e.g. c:xampp or c:myfolderxampp.
