Well I come from a windows education where 
you just click on "Setup.exe" and then that's it! It's done!

Linux installations require you to be a unix guru reading untold
amounts of "How-Tos" before things work. Same with your
Linux php installs. Complex as heck in you weren't raised with unix!

You did a good job porting php to Windows but your installation 
suffers from Linux installation procedures.

Whoever heard of selling a car where you have 
to be a mechanic and tune the engine, put the spark plugs in yourself
before you can drive it??!
