[Xitami] PHP and MYSQL install?

[d calif]

Newbie here once again.
I want to install PHP and MYSQL
I d/l PHP 5.0.3 windows installer
ran the installer, and when it came to auto config for Xitami, it couldn't 
find the xitami config.

I proceeded with the install and it said successful install.  Except we all 
know it isn't complete.

I decided that before I go any further, I would ask faithful Xitami fans for 
input regarding installing PHP and MYSQL.

So if you have been through the process I would appreciate comments, or 
guidelines, or "how to".

I am installing both PHP and MYSQL on C:\
Xitami is in E:\xitami

Again any help is appreciated.
P.S.
If any veteran Xitami user would like to collaborate or be available to 
provide some help, via IM (i have both a AIM or Y! accts).  I'm not open to 
putting my info out in public, but if you are interested, in next xitami 
list  give me a "handle" (doesn't have to be complete just first few 
letters, and the AIM OR Y and I will provide a temporty (AIM or Y!) acct for 
you to connect to). Oonce we are chatting I will provide my main IM acct 
info.   I know this sounds hokie, but after you have had personal identity 
info stolen and your credit card used online...  you will understand.
