No, XAMPP already provides Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl, and some others. All you have to do is to start them. Go to \xampp\xampp-control.exe, then turn on what you need (probably Apache and MySQL). Installing them as services makes it easier, as they start when you log on, but it is not required, and requires administrator privileges.
