So I guess I have decided to go with Drupal 5.

I finally got XAMPP up and running...

I have downloaded Drupal 5 and extracted them 2wice with 7zip (I am using windows XP)

I am open up the Drupal 5 folder and see all the files...

What do I do from here?

I dont have a domain yet... just trying to start developing my site offline...

Thanks
noob

If you have extracted drupal into xampp's apache document root folder, you should just need to type http://localhost into your browser and see the drupal install screen. You will need to specify the blank mysql database that you should create first (using phpmyadmin).

This article should get you going, even though it uses linux as an example:

GOOD LUCK!
