WordPress and XAMPP
Xampp is the best of Open source - and a good way to have a development version of WordPress. When time permits, I’ll get together a guide to installation with particular regard to WordPress. There’s a good one for Xampp Lite on a memory stick here. And also one for WAMP…
For now, life goes much better if it is installed at the root ie C:\xampp\ rather than C:\Program Files\xampp\ (that’s an absolute for Vista, but strongly suggested for XP etc) And don’t dedicate anything as a service.
