Installing Mercurial on Windows Apache XAMPP Tutorial

After asking this question ( XAMPP Mercurial install on Windows Apache -> HgWebDir.cgi Script Error ) and reading the whole internet including this question ( How do I get the hgwebdir Mercurial running on Windows? And all its links within about 10 hours, I seem to , can't find a solution. I started with this tutorial https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/HgWebDirStepByStep ... and I really don't want to install ancient versions of Mercurial. I got my windows-apache to run python scripts, CGI scripts, published them in the wild, but hgwebdir just won't work.

Question 1:

Could someone enrich their personal blog with a tutorial on how to install MERCURIAL on a WINDOWS XAMPP installation and make it visible to the world? I guarantee a lot of pageviews since this is not a trivial problem. And that would sincerely help a lot of other people I guess.

Question 2:

For example, even after looking through half a day through everywhere, I just can't figure out which version of python I need to link to the most recent version of mercurial, and I get a "magic number wrong" -error. That would be my question if you didn't have time to put together a good blog blog. Sorry for being a little upset.

I recently ran into this problem - with the added complication of TortoiseHG support. I posted a tutorial on my blog describing how to host multiple Mercurial repos on a Windows XP machine using XAMPP and TortoiseHG.

Okay, in the end it was just a bunch of directory layout issues and a big version issue (for using Python 2.6 with Mercurial 1.5.1). It works now. If I can manage to write a complete guide to the window, I'll add a comment.
