[Koha-win32] Koha4Win @ XAMPP

[Clemens Pietsch]

Hi, librarians! ;-)

My name is Clemens and I'm lieving in Austria. I'm new to this kind of
software. I tried to find a software, to manage a small scientific library
with about 10 users. The features I need are:

+ Usage of ISBN
+ It should be possible, that you can enter ISBN and it will be checked with
Amazon webservices or anything like that, to get all information of author,
and so on. The reveived data should be entered to the database
automatically.
+ barcodereader, to read ISBNs and add books in the empty database fields
+ Import of existing books as *.csv or *.xls

I tried to install Koha on Ubuntu. It didn't work. Many errors with perl
packages. Next idea: Live cd: Couldn't find the LiveCd download link. The
LiveCd taken downloaded from http://koha.unlp.edu.ar/ doesn't boot, blinking
cursor only. Last chance: Windows ;-)

With Windows installer I've this problem: On my system there is XAMPP
installed. I'd like to use Koha with this XAMPP installation. Php, mysql and
perl is working. The koha installer doesn't let me enter my installation
path, it wants perl and the other tools in c:\ , XAMPP installation is on a
different HD.

Is there a chance to get Koha running with XAMPP? In my opinion xampp is a
fantsatic way to test such systems. Is it possible, to copy the koha data to
the XAMPP htdocs dir and configure it in a webinterface?

I'd be very happy if you could give me some answers about my requirements
and the windows thing.

Thanks in advance!
