The source distribution is useful if you want to study or verify the source
code, or compile the executable file yourself. Since you're asking, you
probably just want the installer binary.

I have a follow-up question to this: Since the binary Win32 install

the web server? I have openSSL installed, so that shouldn't be an issue
(apart from configuration settings).
