At www.download.com I located PHP Triad, but I'm a bit nervous, although
the overall ratings for the package are high. Here are my concerns:
1) Some people couldn't install it all.
2) Apparently it MUST be installed on drive C. While I have over 500
MB in C:,
it's merely my boot drive in a multi-boot installation. I
normally boot to my
WinXP partition. I'd rather install it elsewhere.
3) I do want to install it under Win XP.
4) I already have MySQL installed, and I'm guessing that it's a later
version.
Do any of these represent serious barriers to installing PHP Triad?
Thanks to you, Richard and others for past and future help.
