I want you to explain to the wiki readers, what each step does and
why it is needed, and what to do when a step fails.

If the installation for windows 32bit and windows 64bit is different,
then they should get two different sections in the wiki.

BTW,
At the moment we have two wiki pages about installing.
Juha has started to clean up / update the 'Getting_Lazarus' page and
put each target onto a page of its own, which IMO is better than
putting every thing onto one page.
Eventually the other page should be removed and there should be only
one left. Preferably it should be renamed to something with install,
installing or installation in its name.
So better put your stuff there.
