[drupal-support] First time installation problem: Warning: main(includes/bootstrap.inc): failed

[sudheshna aaa]

Team,

I am loading drupal on window xp. I have installed the following versions of 
software:

apache_1.3.33-win32-x86-no_src.exe
php-4.3.10-installer.exe
mysql-4.1.10a-win32.zip

I tested with a sample php file connecting to Mysql-->Drupal database. It is 
working fine.


I downloaded drupal-4.5.2.tar.gz and extracted the contents to:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\drupal-4.5.2
I have made the following changes to:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\drupal-4.5.2\includes\conf.php:

$db_url = "mysql://devuser@localhost/drupal";
$base_url = "http://localhost";

I have copied C:\Program Files\Apache 
Group\Apache\htdocs\drupal-4.5.2\index.php to

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdoc\index.php.

But when tried to access: http://localhost/index.php

I am getting:

Warning: main(includes/bootstrap.inc): failed to open stream: No such file 
or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\index.php on 
line 12

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'includes/bootstrap.inc' for inclusion 
(include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\Program Files\Apache 
Group\Apache\htdocs\index.php on line 12

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: drupal_page_header() in C:\Program 
Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\index.php on line 13

Questions:

Is this directory correct:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\drupal-4.5.2 --> should I 
extract the file to --->htdocs\drupal-4.5.2 ?

How can I slove the above problem?

Please help!
