easy way to install web server for...

[johnneedsamp]

I need some suggestions guys


I'm looking for the easiest way to install an AMP stack (Apache, MySql, PHP) and all the monitoring tools it comes with (start/stop/restart server) for a STANDARD USER in Windows 7


Most stacks like WAMP or XAMPP or even installing each application individually would require admin rights to start/stop/restart the web server services (apache and mysql). So I'm trying to look for a way for a non-admin user to be able to play around with a web server without actually giving him admin rights.


Basically a family member wants to learn PHP using the family computer but I'm trying to avoid giving him admin rights on his user account for security reasons.

Thanks

Any way to set them up with a virtual machine? it's what I would do, for sure.
