Yes I am using the 1.2.3.RC23A.

Apache is installed in the location you mentioned above, ie, c:\program...

Perl is installed in c:\usr as you suggested.

MySQL is also installed in the default location, ie, c:\mysql and it
working fine.

It was just to save the time of downloading.  I had a CD (came free with
PHP-Mysql).

I never had such problem with the linux version of Koha.  But I think it
will work after a few tries.  Today I am busy with installing CDSware,
I'll start afresh installing w32 koha tomorrow.

Thanks for sparing your time to answer.
