Off line setup

[phily]

Sorry if this has been asked before but I would like to setup a new store off line on my external HDD drive. I am using xp windows and my hosting company are using Linix/Apache/PHP 4.3.11.

I have heard of a program Xampp which includes all that I need to do this but the download is for Linux or Windows. Which one should I download and use and will I have any problems when the store is setup, in uploading to my hosting company.

Any help appreciated.

If you are running windows, then you should download the windows version.

I use xampp myself, and it is a great "program"/collection of programs, call it what you want, it is still great.
