Download and copy to c:\xampp\htdocs\ a fresh copy of wordpress. Browse to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and create a new database for wordpress.
Rename the wp-config-sample.php (inside the wordpress directory)  to wp-config.php and edit it and enter the correct values for the database connection

That’s all! Now browse to http://localhost/wordpress to finish your setup !!
