Try persuading them to network another Windows Box with BigApache which
has all you'll need in one installable package.

After reading your post, I looked briefly at BigApache.

My experience with installing Apache/PHP/MySQL *did* powerfully
suggest the need for a "proper" install bundle - rather than
the chaotic mess of manually editing obscure corners of ".ini"
files and manually copying DLLs into the Windows system folder
that I went through with the standard installation instructions.
