That sounds like a fine installation mode for your intended use.
Just remember to test using http://localhost:8080/...

For testing and development, you don't need to install a Service. If
you want to have the web server running while you are not logged in,
you would need to install the Service.
As others have remarked, you'll need to find and call the httpd.exe
program in its install directory. This directory is not
automatically added to %PATH%. You can start the server, with its
configuration file in conf/httpd.conf under your install directory,
content in htdocs, etc. by running httpd.exe either from a command
prompt, or by navigating to the bin directory and double-clicking the
httpd.exe file. No service install needed.
If you do want to install the service, for production or convenience,
follow the installation directions (httpd -k install -n Apache22 if I
recall correctly) but do remember that httpd.exe is not in your PATH.
