Best Download 2

[jimoo]

I want to download mySQL on a Windows XP box running IIS. I went the mysql.com website and selected download. There are many options. I assume it is one of the top options, listed below.

Please provide any advice on the best version to download. If neither of these are the best, please provide me with a better source.

Thank you.
