but is there a video tutorial on youtube on how to do or can someone make one

Official, I don't think so. But if you search YT for "SMF install" a big number of results does show up.
Note that it probably won't mix xampp and SMF. But they are not totally related. So first search for xampp install, then when you have it set up, just go for SMF install ;)
Moved to support (for now) and edited topic title for clarity. If you want someone to make a video for you, please read the guidelines carefully in the Help Wanted board (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=50.0), and post a new topic there.
quite simply... no.
Someone may have made their own, but we tried video tutorials and it came out terrible.... the person making the tutorial did a fine job, but had such a heavy accent that no one from outside his region could understand him.
Additionally... video tutorials are really a waste of time... each software has a fairly simple installation process and their own support site(s).
