Well donno exactly what are you asking but I installed and on WinXP this way. I downloaded .zip file from the ant web page
Unpacked it anywhere you like (e.g. C:\java\apache-ant), place ANT_HOME enviroment variable pointing to the base ant directory (in this case C:\java\apache-ant) so you will be able to run it from anywhere.
And that's it, youre ready to go just run ant command
Hope it helps

You might also like to add %ANT_HOME%\bin to your PATH environment variable.
If mucking around with environment variables on Windows XP is new territory for you, I'd recommend taking a look at our FAQ on how to set the CLASSPATH - another environment variable.
