[xdebug-general] noob question, is Xdebug installable for non-php-guru?

Hey all, I am trying to debug a php script running under IIS, some one
php line stops working in a current production web application when I
try to upgrade PHP from v5.2.5 to v5.2.6. I have a lot of development
experience but not a lot in PHP. I am trying to get a debugger that
will allow me to step through a script line by line, and examine
variables as I step. I am running on IIS, Windows Server 2003 (blech to
both).

Does Xdebug do what I want? Also, is the install and usage fairly
straightforward? I am currently trying DBG, I have the DBG extension
running under IIS, but am finding the info on getting the client
listener piece installed & using the debugger to be very sketchy, for my
state of non-guru-ness. The web site for Xdebug has not convinced me
that it'll a straightforward install, and my experience with DBG has
been very painful.

Thanks for any info.
