If it was me I would simplify the problem: A. tear out apache and php and B. Get mysql installed and working C. shut down Mysql and install apache and get it working D. shut down apache, keep mysql shut down and install Php and get it working. then start up each, and test as you bring up the full system to make sure each object is acting nice
this will isolate the bugs (if any) in the boundaries between B and C, or C and D, etc. not being a computer science guru, i have to do things gently....else i crash and burn and kick the dog.

Thanks, Gerald, I'm trying to install the MySQL. Apache & Php in Windows 2000 Professional. A book telling me that I should install them in the above sequence. Actually the error message is before the installation of Apache, is it the root cause? Should I try again after I start the server?
