If you download TimeTrex and unzip it, you will see a README.txt file that has the requirements and the instructions on how to install TimeTrex.

You might consider going with Apache instead of IIS. The main reason I went with Apache on my XP system was because I could use XAMPP, which in one fell swoop installs Apache, PHP and MySQL. Another reason to go with Apache, is that using it bypasses XP's limit of 5 concurrent connections. If you use IIS on XP, then you are limited to only 5 people being able to connect to your computer at the same time. With Apache, windows does not limit connections.
Please be aware that I am no expert when it comes to Apache, IIS, PHP, MySQL or TimeTrex... or just about anything really. I just found XAMPP to be very user friendly and the quickest way to get everything up and running. I am also not concerned about security at all since the computer using TimeTrex is within our network and we don't use it for payroll (just attendance tracking.)
The download page off the TimeTrex website has links to XAMPP and the other helper application that installs PostgreSQL instead of MySQL.
If you do install XAMPP, you will want to enable InnoDB. Otherwise you will have problems with TimeTrex. See the following post regarding this issue:
