I want to download Moodle for Windows from the Moodle website.
Please guide me the most current and the most stable and easy to install release of Moodle for Windows.
For a new site you should use Moodle 2.0.
There doesn't seem to be a build of the one-click installer yet but I would think that they 2.0dev one at the bottom should be close enough at 6 days old.
If you have the skills it's better to install the web server / php / mysql server software yourself and then download the source install of Moodle. It gives you a lot more flexibility (and there's tons of documentation on the web)

Thanks Howard for your reply and I have downloaded Moodle 2.0 from the Standard Moodle Packages page on the Moodle.org website.
I want to install a Web Server and my operating system is Windows 2008.
I need easy to install Web Server. kindly suggest.
Also,
When I read the "How to Install" guide available with Moodle 2.0. It suggest that PHP v 5.3.0 has some issues with the deprecated tags and what I understand that these issues will also reflect in the Moodle 2.0 when installed.
Please correct me if I am wrong:
I am planning to download and install WAMP from (http://www.wampserver.com) and I believe that it's installation process is simple but the PHP version it contains is PHP v 5.3.0 which has issues.
Kindly suggest whether I go ahead and instll the WAMP or are there other good options available?
If you look here, this should tell you how to set up PHP MySQL and you should be able to figure out Moodle from there...
I am assuming that you are referring to Server 2008? If so, then does it not have IIS as native? While not a big fan of MS products, there would be no point in installing Apache if you already have IIS running... To check open Internet Exploder and enter http://localhost or http://127.0.0.0 and see what happens...If one does not work the other should.
Sorry, did not realise the above link only relates to MySQL, if you look to this site, that will show you how to setup PHP in IIS... Use the zip file, is a lot more straighforward and gives you the opportunity to look inside the php.ini file.
Colin,
IIS is not installed on Windows Server versions by default; you have to add it as an additional role. Also the loopback address is 127.0.0.1 not 127.0.0.0
