Finding the Apache Windows installer

Several readers of my books have reported being unable to find the Windows installer for Apache on the Apache download page. Apache is available in many different versions, so the direct links don’t always list the MSI installer package for Windows. If the Windows installer isn’t listed, click the link for Other files, followed by the links for binaries and win32. On the final page, scroll down until you find apache_2.2.x-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
(where x represents the number of the most recent version).

I can’t give a direct link to the file because Apache requests that you always use a mirror site close to you. Following the links as described here automatically takes you to a mirror site.
