OK, so as I have updated the installation instructions to refer to NT/2000/XP as the same regarding path names. So can anybody confirm, that a fresh install of Win XP uses the same dirs as Win2000 or Win98, or what?Nope... at least, that's not what I've heard. Windows 2000 uses c:\winnt (for php.ini) and c:\winnt\system32 (for php4ts.dll) Windows XP uses c:\windows and c:\windows\system32Hm, this may well be, since I 'just' updated the system from Windows 2000 to WindowsXP and did no fresh install.
