Hi Sudarsan,

I've done my installation on windows XP as well. You might want to consider downloading and using WAMP. Which has the latest versions of PHP, Apache, Mysql bundled into one. This greatly simplified installation. You don't have to touch a single config file before you begin.

Once WAMP is up, just put mantis in the www directory of your server and you're ready to roll.
