As I said, I don't know Wordpress.
But if you want to use a framework for building a website why don't you go with Joomla. It is a very good CMS and easy to install. The installation also creates all tables for you.
Download Joomla here:
http://www.joomla.org/
Create a folder in you Xampp htdocs folder. Then extract the Joomla files in there. Let's say you called the folder '..\xampp\htdocs\mysite', than after copying the Joomla files in there go to your browser and point to
http://localhost/mysite
The Joomla installation routine will start automatically. There is also a lot of Joomla documentation available.
