Installation of apache 2.0.54

I want to install on my windows xp machine. I am downloading the
apache installable from apache.org website. It gives me two options for
windows:

1]Win32 Source: httpd-2.0.54-win32-src.zip [PGP] [MD5]
2]Win32 Binary (MSI Installer): apache_2.0.54-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
[PGP] [MD5

What are these two different options for and how do I make my choice.
If any one knows please let me know.

The source distribution is useful if you want to study or verify the source
code, or compile the executable file yourself. Since you're asking, you
probably just want the installer binary.

I have a follow-up question to this: Since the binary Win32 install
comes without mod_ssl, where can I get a binary of mod_ssl to add to
the web server? I have openSSL installed, so that shouldn't be an issue
(apart from configuration settings).
