 * When I attempt to run the install of WordPress I have found that the php extension
   is associated with Microsoft Picture It! 2.0 and it askes me for a CD to install.
 * What file associatin should I use in Windows for the php extension to get it 
   to function properly?

 * that sounds like you’re trying to run it via your local computer? If you have
   it on a web server, you will need to set up a database, and use a browser (like
   IE or Firefox) to run the install scripts.
 * The only way to run it locally is to set up a server or use xampp.

 * hmm Windows isn’t probably the right OS for installing WordPress 😉
 * Are you sure you know how to handle web applications? You definitely must have
   a webserver and a database server running to get wordpress working. You may get
   an easy running WAMP package at [http://www.apachefriends.org](http://www.apachefriends.org)
   but even in this case you should know how things work with apache and mysql –
   otherwise have a look at wordpress.com and get your free instant wordpress blog.
