Help with local installation setup

I am trying to setup WordPress locally on a Windows XP installation. I have installed XAMPPlite and edited the wp-config.php, but I keep getting the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-config.php on line 28

My SQL settings are listed below:

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

I am unfamiliar with both PHP and MySQL. Any help would be appreciated.
