I'm not a programmer so I may be way off base but here goes. For two days I have been trying to get WYSIWYG and ckeditor to work with the latest XAMPP release and Drupal 6.15 -- still no success. But I have learned some things that might help someone.
1. It seems the latest version of WYSIWYG doesn't get along with the latest version of PHP. The solution is to use the latest dev version of WYSIWYG.
2. WYSIWYG won't recognize ckeditor unless it's in \sites\all\libraries but Drupal expects ckeditor to be in \sites\all\modules so it won't show up in the modules listing where you "Enable" modules if you put it in the "libraries" folder.
3. If you put ckeditor in \sites\all\modules it will show up in the module listing and you can "Enable" it, however, WYSIWYG won't recognize it and it won't work.
4. Out of desperation I tried putting ckeditor in BOTH places. WYSIWYG recognized it and it also showed up in the module listing. I "Enabled" it but it still didn't work.
I've included a screen shot that shows how WYSIWYG expects ckeditor to be in \sites\all\libraries.

Notice also how WYSIWYG expects ckeditor.js to be in \sites\all\libraries\ckeditor\ instead of \sites\all\libraries\ckeditor\ckeditor\
If the past two days of aggravation haven't driven me insane, somebody should report this stuff. But like I said, I'm not a programmer, I just check out Drupal once in a while to see if it has gotten user-friendly enough to use on my website.
