installing apache+php+mysql with my app ??

Anyone have any experience / ideas / links related to building an install application that installs apache with php and mysql.

I am thinking this isn't going to be terribly easy but I want to build a smooth standard windows install process that in the background installs and sets this platform up.

You're welcome. I tried Foxserv a few years ago when it was fairly new and some things weren't working all that well. Its claim to fame is that it installs L.A.M.P. (well, minus the 'L') for you on Win32 transparently, but I had some problems with MySql. I'm sure some wrinkles have been ironed out.
