<P>If you will install apache on Windows 95, stop. First you need to
download and install the Windows Socket 2 Update from Microsoft, available
at <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/bin/W95ws2setup.exe"

<P>The Apache httpd Project is working to minimize your download times. With
the arrival of version 1.3.15 of Apache, we will be distributing the Apache
httpd Server in an MSI package. This should resolve problems that
Windows ME users had with the older installer, and minimizes the download
time. However, only Windows ME and 2000 users have built-in MSI support
with the installation of Windows. Users of Windows NT 4.0, 95 and 98 must
download the MSI installer, if it was not already installed by another
product's installation.</P>
<P>If you are downloading version 1.3.15 or higher, and Windows does not
recognize the downloaded apache .msi file, please download the
Redistributable MSI package, available from Microsoft:</P>

<LI><A HREF="http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/wininst/1.1/NT4/EN-US/InstMsi.exe"
>Redistributable (x86) v1.1 for Windows NT 4.0 (already built into
Windows 2000) via http</A>
<LI><A HREF="http://download.microsoft.com/download/platformsdk/wininst/1.1/W9X/EN-US/InstMsi.exe"

<P>Once you have downloaded and installed the MSI installer application, you
should not need to do so again. You will be ready to run the Apache .msi
binary installer distributions above.</P>
