Ok, the first thing you need to do is to download installers which can be found to their website. In this tutorial we are using versions:
Apache 2.2.6, MySQL 5.0.45, PHP 5.2.5

httpd.apache.org

http://www.mysql.com

http://www.php.net

Here’s the quick download link

apache_2.2.6-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi

mysql-essential-5.0.45-win32.msi

php-5.2.5-Win32.zip

In this part we install our Apache Server.
