Someone made a KWWHunction version of an xamp type app. I forgot the name but I think it was called KWWHunction server or something. Anyways, if you just install that it will have all the prereqs. But the official list is:

PHP
MySQL
Apache

that should be it really.

Please note that some vBulletin modifications wont work on XAMP or WAMP i mean i work with vBulletin for almost 2 years and this has been tested on my PC and on PC of some of my mates

EDIT: For example i will tell you about one vBulletin shoutbox it just keeps showing LOADING...
