• Click on "Next" in the introductory screen .
• Select the "I accept the terms in the license agreement" radio button and hit "Next".
• Enter localhost for both "Network Domain" and "Server Name". In the "Administrator's Email Address" field I generally type in webmaster@localhost. Move to the next screen .

• As you can see from the screenshot, by default, Apache is installed in a folder deep under the "Program Files folder.

I entered C:\Apache as the destination folder and I suggest you do the same.
