Being an old “hard coder” in HTML who have never used Drupal or Commerce Kickstart in the past, I am in the process of building a responsive web-site with a shop, using the XAMPP server for a local testing environment on a Windows 7 platform.

I have however very close to giving up on installing the Kickstart 2 from the core installation.

Every time I try to install it, I keep getting a 120 second time out error, even though I have set the memory to 512, the time out to 600 and the last setting which I was advice to set also to 600 (can not remember what it was of the top of my head) in the PHP.ini file found in C->xampp->php folder.

I have also tried to first install a "standard" drupal (which works fine) and then install the “non core” version, but that gives the same time out error!

I want to be fair to Drupal and Kickstart 2, so I now wonder if it would be possible to install the modules, preferably pre configured as in Kickstart 2, one at a time, and thereby build it my self?

If so, which modules are needed and/or is it possible to gather them in a separate package which I can install my self – and where could I find such a package?

If this is not possible, does any one have any suggestions to what I should do to be able to install Commerce Kickstart 2?
