How do I install memcache on a windows XP system.(I've already searched the web and the memcache website however I couldn't find anything that was useful!)

If you're referring to the same "memcache" as the following Wikipedia entry [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memcache ], then it appears that this is *nix (Unix or variant) based only software, and is implemented as a demon [daemon].... The download page [ http://www.danga.com/memcached/download.bml ] offers gzip'ed tarballs only, for example. If you're running Cygwin [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygwin ] on your XP machine, then I imagine you would simply decompress the archive -- downloaded from the above link -- and follow the instructions from the appropriate text file. The memcached website informs that the "libevent" libraries are required; they (latest version 1.3b) can be downloaded -- near the bottom left -- from the following page [ http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ ]. Again, decompress the gzip'ed tarball and follow the installation instructions given in the appropriate text file.
For further information direct from the source, you can join the memcached mailing list [ http://lists.danga.com/mailman/listinfo/memcached ]
Go to this link, where some very wonderful people have compiled the source code as a Win32 binary for us (for those of us who aren't avid C-programmers with compilers ready to launch with a click).
