PHP-GTK installation is indeed covered by the PHP-GTK manual, and also the PHP-GTK wiki. The problem we see, over and over again, is that users have followed the PHP manual's instructions to install PHP on a win32 system in a way that precludes any secondary installation.. Leaving PHP-GTK aside for the moment, I think you're going to see problems with this during the crossover period between PHP 4 and PHP 5, too. > Thus said, I would insert pointers/links to that FAQ, gtk-install > instructions, pear setup on windows, etc. I don't think it matters where you put the information, so long as it's not hidden away in a dusty corner where nobody ever finds it! What's wrong with having a basic installation page with Edin's advice, and a more flexible guide for multiple installations nearby? I don't understand why you think that information belongs in a FAQ, given that it's quite a large chunk of info... but hey, it'd better be somewhere than nowhere at all! - Steph
