Setting up Xampp, Zend Debugger and Drupal on Windows 7 (64 bit)

After having had a fun (?) afternoon trying to rebuild my development environment for Drupal after installing Windows 7 I think I've finally cracked it. As a note to myself, and for anyone else who stumbles across this page, this is what I had to do to get it working...

  1. Make sure to install Xampp 1.7 as this has PHP 5.2. The Zend debugger binaries don't yet work with PHP 5.3 which is used in later versions of Xampp. Packages are available from SourceForge.
