Agreed - when I revamped the install.txt file a few months ago I also did a
new version of the intall.xml file and asked for it to be committed to the
doc cvs tree (I wasn't on the doc mailing list at the time, and I'm not sure
my karma is up to fiddling with the doc tree). Anyhow, it didn't happen, and
both files have been changed quite a bit since then. It took me over a day to
do the xml file (largely because I'm totally unfamiliar with the tagging you
use) and I can't spare that amount of time at the moment. I think that the
install.txt file is currently more correct than the manual with regard to
windows installation, and it also contains useful hints and tips for common
installation problems which should go into the manual.

I'm happy to work with someone familiar with the php doc system to sort
things out.

Cheers
