If you are sure about what you are getting I would go to Apache site direct.. http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi to be sure that you get the correct version.. Also you should be getting a zip. Look about 1/2 way down the page, and you will see a file for windows 32. The one that you got was for Linux / Unix.. http://www.php-mysql-tutorial.com/install-apache-php-mysql.php Also here is a tutorial for install the three on Windows.. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 11/21/2008 at 2:22 PM Leah Taylor wrote: >im on vista and i downloaded the latest verison (2.2.10) i believe.
