   some issues. First of all, here are the various versions of things I’m using:
 *  * Windows XP
    * Xampp which includes o Apache o PHP 5.3.5 o MySQL 5.5.8 When
   I visited the [http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php](http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php)
   I see only a blank page. I have all things correctly can u solve this

 * parvezp,
 * In order to see error instead of just a blank page, turn on display_errors in
   php.ini file and access wordpress again.

 * For XAMPP I think you need to edit the php.ini at installation folder, (e.g: 
   c:\xampp\php) looking for the line “short_open_tag” when you find it, below the
   line add like this “short_open_tag = On” without “”.
 * And I think better if your create some vhost, I done have tutorial about vhost
   but, my be you can email me, so I give you the setting of vhost. Or your can 
   googling with keyword “setting vhost” it very easy.
 * just edit file below:
    – httpd.conf : just del # mark for mod_rewrite.so, mod_userdir.
   so, mod_vhost_alias.so
 * at directory extra: httpd-vhosts.conf, httpd-userdir.conf
 * and at %windir%\system32\drivers\etc: a file named “host” at add line below 127.0.0.1
   localhost witt 127.0.0.1 yourdomain-vhostname.com
 * I hope it can help.
