InstantWP

I have just completed a local installation of WordPress and I am running  it on local web server". It took me quiet a while to configure the xampp on Windows to install Wordpress. I mostly struggled with getting the "wp-install.php" to run on the server due to default php configuration set in xampp. However, after all the struggling, I found a good simple solution (particularly for the unfamiliar windows platform) called InstantWordpress. As the website says - "Instant WordPress is a complete standalone, portable WordPress development environment. It turns any Windows machine into a WordPress development server. It will even run from a USB key." Given the simplicity of the software provided, it is strange that the website does not have as many visitors as one would expect for such a popular blogging platform.
