Well, I found IIS difficult to install (well not install but to
configure so that it would be reasonably safe ...)
Anyway. I think you might find that URL interesting:
http://www.apachefriends.org/xampp-en.html
It's a complete Apache, PHP, Perl, mySQL, ...package that has
everything included. Just unzip and run (ok, it helps to read the
README ;)
Though in the long run I prefer to have my own custom installation
this one does a good job of getting you started.
