Installation is dependent on the PHP installation. This wizard will analyze a php.ini file and provide detailed instructions for installation.

In the case of the development Windows 2008 server:

1. Download php_xdebug-2.2.7-5.4-vc9-nts.dll
2. Move the downloaded file to c:\PHP54\ext
3. Edit C:\PHP54\php.ini and add the line

zend_extension = c:\PHP54\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.7-5.4-vc9-nts.dll
