thanks dude ...:D that was a great help

Create a folder called Zen (or whatever you like) inside the XAMPP htdocs folder, and copy/paste the contents of the 'zen-cart-v1.3.0.1-full-fileset' into the new folder (or just rename that folder to something more manageable and drop that intot he htdocs folder).

Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and create a new blank database.

Go to http://localhost/zen and start the install.

Once the install is complete rename or delete the install folder. Go to the zen/includes/configure.php file, right-click, select Properties, and tick the Read Only box.

That should be it.
