You need to make sure you have Apache and PostgreSQL installed first. Check out http://apache2triad.net/ for help on that. Once that is complete take a look at the INSTALL.txt file in the TimeTrex .zip file, it should walk you through the next steps.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#641

this is what it has

* Apache 2.2.2
* MySQL 5.0.21
* PHP 5.1.4
* phpMyAdmin 2.8.1
* XAMPP Control Panel Version 2.3
* FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.16c

The follow are the major system requirements for TimeTrex:

- Windows 2000/XP or Linux
- IIS or Apache web servers
- PHP v5.0 or greater with PEAR installed
- PostgreSQL v8.0 or greater

TimeTrex requires PHP v5.0 or greater because it utilizes many object orientated (OO) programming features that are only available in PHP v5+.

Unfortunately it does not include PostgreSQL. However PostgreSQL is pretty easy to install on Windows anyways.
