I don't know if it includes MySQL, but check out the Microsoft Web Platform Installer 2.0. It does include PHP and a lot of other stuff. All Free.

I've had good experience with The Uniform Server -- it's portable*, and it includes Apache, PHP, MySQL, and Perl in the box. Their installation manual also says testing has been successful on 64-bit WinXP Pro.
* It's portable in the put it on your USB-stick and use it on any Windows computer sense. They also claim to not touch the Windows registry at all.

If you have a Windows XP Professional or a Windows Server installation, run it on IIS. I'm sure it's included on the higher end Vista distribution discs too. You can check by inserted your disc, going to Add or Remove Programs and on the left menu, select Add Windows Features...something like that anyway.
