The ASF does not provide official binary packages for 2.4/2.5, so let's not pretend we do.

Browse Source 
We can always revert this if/when someone steps up and provides convenience packages again.

<title>Downloading Apache for Windows</title>
<p>Information on the latest versions of Apache can be found on the
web site of the Apache web server at
<a href="http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi">http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi</a>.
There you will find the current release, as well as more recent alpha
or beta test versions, and a list of HTTP and FTP mirrors from which
you can download the Apache web server. Please use a mirror near to
you for a fast and reliable download.</p>
<p>For Windows installations you should download the version of
Apache for Windows with the <code>.msi</code> extension. This is a
single Microsoft Installer file, which contains a ready-to-run
build of Apache. There is a separate <code>.zip</code> file,
which contains only the source code, see the summary above.</p>
<p>There is a choice between an *-openssl-*.msi flavor and
a *-no_ssl.msi flavor. The *-openssl-*.msi flavor is distributed
by the Apache Software Foundation under ECCN 5D002 pursuant to
US Export Law license exception TSU. This law may or may not
apply to your circumstance, please review the httpd README as
well as the <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/">ASF
Export Classifications and Source Links</a> page. The project
provides no further guidance to third parties in resolving the
legal circumstances which apply in each circumstance.</p>
<p>The Apache Software Foundation itself does not provide binary releases of
software, only source code. If you cannot compile the Apache HTTP Server
yourself, you can obtain a binary package on numerous sites specialized
in providing compiled versions of the Apache server for Windows.</p>

<title>Installing Apache for Windows</title>
<p>You need Microsoft Installer 2.0 or above for the installation
to work. For Windows NT 4.0 and 2000 refer to Microsoft's article
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292539/">KB 292539</a>.
Windows XP and later do not require this update.</p>
<p>Note that you cannot install two versions of Apache 2.&httpd.minor; on the
same computer with the binary installer. You can, however, install
a version of the 1.3 series <strong>and</strong> a version of the
2.&httpd.minor; series on the same computer without problems. If you need to
have two different 2.&httpd.minor; versions on the same computer, you have to
<a href="win_compiling.html">compile and install Apache from the
source</a>.</p>
<p>Run the Apache <code>.msi</code> file you downloaded above. The
installation will ask you for these things:</p>
<ol>
<li><p><strong>Network Domain.</strong> Enter the DNS domain in which
your server is or will be registered in. For example, if your
server's full DNS name is <code>server.example.net</code>, you would
type <code>example.net</code> here.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Server Name.</strong> Your server's full DNS name.
From the example above, you would type <code>server.example.net</code>
here.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Administrator's Email Address.</strong> Enter the
server administrator's or webmaster's email address here. This
address will be displayed along with error messages to the client
by default.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>For whom to install Apache</strong> Select <code>for
All Users, on Port 80, as a Service - Recommended</code> if you'd
like your new Apache to listen at port 80 for incoming traffic.
It will run as a service (that is, Apache will run even if no one
is logged in on the server at the moment) Select <code>only for
the Current User, on Port 8080, when started Manually</code> if
you'd like to install Apache for your personal experimenting or
if you already have another WWW server running on port 80.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>The installation type.</strong> Select <code>Typical</code>
for everything except the source code and libraries for module
development. With <code>Custom</code> you can specify what to
install. A full install will require about 13 megabytes of free
disk space. This does <em>not</em> include the size of your web
site(s).</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Where to install.</strong> The default path is
<code>C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation</code>
under which a directory called
<code>Apache2.3</code> will be created by default.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>During the installation, Apache will configure the files in the
<code>conf</code> subdirectory to reflect the chosen installation
directory. However, if any of the configuration files in this
directory already exist, they will not be overwritten. Instead, the
new copy of the corresponding file will be left with the extension
<code>.default</code>. So, for example, if <code>conf\httpd.conf</code>
already exists, it will be renamed as <code>conf\httpd.conf.default</code>.
After the installation you should manually check to see what new
settings are in the <code>.default</code> file, and if necessary,
update your existing configuration file.</p>
<p>Also, if you already have a file called <code>htdocs\index.html</code>,
it will not be overwritten (and no <code>index.html.default</code>
will be installed either). This means it should be safe to install
Apache over an existing installation, although you would have to
stop the existing running server before doing the installation, and
then start the new one after the installation is finished.</p>
<p>After installing Apache, you must edit the configuration files
in the <code>conf</code> subdirectory as required. These files
will be configured during the installation so that Apache is ready
to be run from the directory it was installed into, with the
documents server from the subdirectory <code>htdocs</code>. There
are lots of other options which you should set before you really
start using Apache. However, to get started quickly, the files
should work as installed.</p>

<p>One feature of the installer, "Build Headers and Libraries", can be
ignored by most users, but should be installed if compiling third party
modules. The "APR Iconv Code Pages" can similarly be omitted by most
users, unless using <module>mod_charset_lite</module> or a third party
module which relies on APR internationalization features.</p>
<p>There are requests to ship a .zip file from time to time. There is
no point in the ASF consuming additional storage, mirroring and bandwidth
for this purpose, because the .msi installer allows the installation
artifacts to all be unpacked using the <code>msiexec /a</code> network
installation option. Using this command against any .msi will result
in an exploded tree of all of the individual files and components.</p>
<p>The installation options above can be customized by users familiar
with msiexec.exe options and silent installation. The actual installer
