  ### Answer by username_1 on 2016-12-13. Score: 2
  
  I just did an installation on my Windows Laptop, and it worked. I describe below my configuration. Maybe it leads to a working configuration on your system.
  
  1. I downloaded and installed the *xampp-win32-5.6.28-0-VC11-installer* installer from [ApacheFriends](https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html). The installation decides for the default home *C:\xampp*.
  2. After the installation, the Xampp control panel starts. I start Apache and MySQL.
  3. I open the shell to create the databases (I am more at my ease with Unix). I create the databases with the following commands:
  
     ```
     mysql -u root
  
     create database wp character set utf8;
     create database civi character set utf8;
     grant all on wp.* to wpuser@localhost identified by 'wppwd';
     grant all on civi.* to civiuser@localhost identified by 'civipwd';
     flush privileges;
  
     ```
  4. I install WordPress by unzipping the download in the `C:\xampp\htdocs` directory. I remove all other files (to keep the installation clean).
  5. I do the WordPress configuration according to the documentation. (database wp, user wpuser, password wppassword).
  6. I unzip the CiviCRM (*civicrm-4.7.14-wordpress.zip*) in the directory `C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\plugins`.
  7. Now I activate the CiviCRM in the plugins menu and complete the installation with the *Almost Ready* invitation. (database civi, user civiuser, password civipwd).
  8. Installation completes without problems.
  
  The `civicrm.settings.php` file is generated in the directory `C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\uploads\civicrm`. In the file is a mix of forward slashes and backslashes, but CiviCRM does not seem to bother. For example:
  
  ```
  $civicrm_root = 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs/wp-content/plugins\\civicrm\\civicrm\\';
  if (!defined('CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR')) {
   define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', 'C:\\xampp\\htdocs/wp-content/uploads\\civicrm\\templates_c\\');
  }
  
  ```
