Thanks.  I downloaded the 13_3_2_ZeroXIII setup file here to a memory 
stick and will try installing it next time I visit my customer.  Will 
report back.

Description on Sourceforge page says just "Windows 32-bit", which I take 
to include XP, but we'll see.  Downloaded file is 28M (filetype data, a 
7zip file if I read things aright).

I also downloaded XAMPP (by Apachefriends) from Sourceforge.  It comes in 
at 148M.  It says easy-to-install but I don't see the word lightweight.

Also found EasyPHP-Devserver-17/0-lite, which is 39M.

We'll see.  Thanks for the tips.
