Robert,
I've only played with the package, and had no trouble installing it on
Windows XP. I did install it on my C: drive, but I see no reason (unless
there is something I missed in the documentation) why a simple edit of the
configuration files wouldn't change that ...
I would pretty much sum up the rest of the issues with user error.
Installing PHP Triad isn't a big deal, I'm not even sure if it makes any
registry changes ... and because (I'm assuming) you're not using it for a
production environment, it should not pose any kind of threat to your
system. Basically all it does is start the Apache server and allow it to
interface with MySQL through configured parameters.
Like I said, I haven't played with it too much, because my web host does
support PHP and MySQL, but when I recently had a lapse in internet service,
I tinkered with it a tiny bit.
Regards,
Matthew Moldvan.

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.
