I have problems installing MinGW. Somehow I just can't get it working. I'm using
a Win32 pc, WinXp

I downloaded
 gdb-5.2.1-1.exe
 mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe
 binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz
 gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
 mingw-runtime-3.9.tar.gz
 mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
 w32api-3.3.tar.gz

And I want to know where I need to unpack the archives and install the two exe's.
It is probably very simple and obvious, but I've spent hours trying all various
possibilities, and I just can't get it working.

Additionally, which paths must I include in the PATH environment variable?

And lastly, I can not use the installer MinGW-5.0.0.exe, the program refuses
to download anything. That;s why I now try to get eahc package individually.
Of course, if you can tell me how to fix that, I'm equally - or probably even
more - happy.
