the server i did not try, but we use the client:
just install it (the 0.15.exe, you also might want to copy the 0.16

i would give the server a try with just the standard apache 2.0.43. i
think there were troubles with the server on win xp, tho.
the tigris site is a little bit "not"-straightforward (there is "file
sharing" to your left ....) - but you find the built version(s) in
