Hello and thanks in advance.
I'm attempting to install my RT template using Rocket Launcher locally on my computer.
I have successfully installed XAMPP, and I'm ready to go.
XAMPP release notes tells me to create a folder in htdocs inside XAMPP, and to unzip in there, is this correct?
Can I suggest a tutorial to install Rocket Launcher locally, using XAMPP or WAMP
Regards

Ok, I've done it...
If anybody's interested, for a local install on Windows XP, do the following...
Go to this website and download XAMPP which will install a database on you computer so you can work locally:
www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
Install XAMPP on your C disk, choose apache and mysql, ingoring Filezilla which is an ftp app which you won't need cos you will be working locally.
Inside XAMPP find the htdocs folder (this is the root folder) and create a folder called the RT template you've chosen. So the folder should be called "Joomla_RT_Chromatophore_j15" or whichever template you choose.
Unzip you RT file and copy it's contents into this folder.
Go to http://localhost/Joomla_RT_Chromatophore_j15 (or whatever) to start you configuration.
Choose: mysql
Hostname: localhost
User name: root
Password: come back to this later.
Database name: Joomla_RT_Chromatophore_j15 (or whatever)
Press next, ignore step 5 (ftp) and go to step 6.
Enter your site name, then the e-mail address and admin password of your choice.
If you have chosen RocketLauncher, click "Install Sample Data!”, this will load it all up.
Delete your "installation" folder in your "Joomla_RT_Chromatophore_j15" folder as requested and you're done!
Cheers

You can also use the Filezilla ftp server that is included in the XAMPP package, when you install it as a service, you can also use the ftp options, that are available in Joomla. - *Karma comes in many forms, my personal favourite is the random saucepan from the sky* J.Spencer 17-02-2009

hi there... I followed everything (fresh xampp installation) and renamed my envelope to rt_quantive_j15-rocketlauncher (where the rocket launcher is supposed to be)
I got this instead:
Warning: require_once(C:\xampp\htdocs\rt_quantive_j15-rocketlauncher\installation\includes\defines.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\rt_quantive_j15-rocketlauncher\installation\index.php on line 19
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\xampp\htdocs\rt_quantive_j15-rocketlauncher\installation\includes\defines.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\rt_quantive_j15-rocketlauncher\installation\index.php on line 19
Any advice will be taken with open arms

nothing went wrong, your php.ini settings are showing notices in regard to strict standards coding, that is all.
Changing the error settings in php.ini in xampp will do the trick. - *Karma comes in many forms, my personal favourite is the random saucepan from the sky* J.Spencer 17-02-2009
