If some find hard to "upload" Mediawiki 1.18, there are other troubles ! If the Experts in the Community would be kind enough to consider those who "uploaded" easily "Mediawiki 1.18", but, under "WindowsXP", are with "*.xml" ou "*.php", and so on, Files, but no way to Run the stuff, it would be kind ! Long ago, with a much older version, after loading, a "Launcher" existed, and even an Icon on the "Desktop" ! The Trouble at this time for me was only that, in "Web pages", I wanted to create Icons, still under "WindowsXP" and had no help from answers. So, I had to let "Mediawiki" out, unless it was recommended by friends. Too bad ! So, be nice to say how to "Start" Mediawiki, (and don't consider that the "User Manual" should be sufficient, since il must work only when the Files are readable !) !
I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're asking, but since I'm guessing you're trying to figure out how to run MediaWiki on a local windows machine - MediaWiki needs a web server (e.g. Apache), PHP and a database server (e.g. MySQL) to run. A bundle like EasyPHP[1] may be the best solution for you.
