Vb install

Is it possible to install vb to local host?
Right now I`m creating a new theme for my forum and re-upload images every time I change some graphics.

Of course.

Have you got Apache web server (or IIS), PHP scripting, and MySQL database engine installed on your computer?

If not, and you're on a Windows machine, you'll want WAMP or XAMPP which are both one-click-install for all 3 of those programs.

no I don`t.
and it is my first time for creating localhost
I am running winXpHome Edition. What is the best for me?
I have just downloaded the XAMPP 1.5.5

I know of no up-to-date FAQ on installing Apache/PHP/MySQL on Windows.

If I go here:

it takes me here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69072
which takes me here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=56446
which is a FIVE year old thread on how to install Apache, PHP, and MySQL manually on Windows.

There's a newer thread here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154840
but it's still manually installing all these pieces and configuring them to work together.

I did a search for XAMPP and find no "how to" threads here on vBulletin.com. I guess it's that easy!!
