+1 -- I've never used any "all-in-one" installers, but I've heard
enough other people complain about problems with them. If this is
for personal learning, and you're not under a deadline, I'd say
you're far better off going through each individual setup.
You (the original poster) are on XP now, but who's to say you won't
have to upgrade MySQL on a Linux host tomorrow, or add PHP to an OS
X box? Better to know, even casually, the file system layout and
config options for each thing you're working with.
IMHO :-)
