<br>

<br>The&nbsp;windows&nbsp;.exe&nbsp;installer&nbsp;similar&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Linux&nbsp;.bin&nbsp;installer&nbsp;will&nbsp;install&nbsp;the&nbsp;required&nbsp;Apache,&nbsp;PHP,MySQL&nbsp;and&nbsp;gd&nbsp;libraries&nbsp;required&nbsp;to&nbsp;run

vtigerCRM.&nbsp;Option&nbsp;is&nbsp;also&nbsp;provided&nbsp;to&nbsp;use&nbsp;the&nbsp;already&nbsp;installed&nbsp;Apache&nbsp;and&nbsp;MySQL.

<br>

Option&nbsp;to&nbsp;start&nbsp;the&nbsp;Apache&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;service&nbsp;is&nbsp;also&nbsp;provided&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;windows&nbsp;installer.

<br>

Hope&nbsp;this&nbsp;helps&nbsp;you.

<br>

<br>Thanks,

<br>Don

<br>I'm&nbsp;writing&nbsp;up&nbsp;some&nbsp;release&nbsp;management&nbsp;docs&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;wiki,&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;keep

<br>referring&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;windows&nbsp;.exe&nbsp;variant,&nbsp;but&nbsp;I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;know&nbsp;what&nbsp;it&nbsp;does&nbsp;or

<br>why&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;it?&nbsp;(I'm&nbsp;not&nbsp;a&nbsp;windows&nbsp;user)

<br>

<br>Not&nbsp;to&nbsp;dismiss&nbsp;the&nbsp;effort&nbsp;that&nbsp;goes&nbsp;into&nbsp;it,&nbsp;but&nbsp;it&nbsp;would&nbsp;be&nbsp;good&nbsp;to

document&nbsp;what&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;installer&nbsp;doing&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;user.

<br>

If&nbsp;it's&nbsp;some&nbsp;expansive&nbsp;thing&nbsp;that&nbsp;installs&nbsp;apache,&nbsp;secures&nbsp;services,&nbsp;etc.

then&nbsp;its&nbsp;a&nbsp;much&nbsp;bigger&nbsp;footnote&nbsp;in&nbsp;our&nbsp;release&nbsp;process.

<br>

Thanks.
