I am trying to install VB on my pc to design my site. I tried the XAMPP install, but keep getting this message.

Configuration: includes/config.php does not exist. Please fill out the data in config.php.new and rename it to config.php

I also can't for the life of me rename the config.new file to config.php No matter what I do. I copied it to another text editor and saved the file and notta.

Any help is appreciated!
