Here are the steps I took:
Backed up website and saved to my home computer.
Exported entire database and saved to my home computer.
Installed XAMPP Lite or WAMP in your case.
Copied backed up website to XAMPP Lite appropriate folder (htdocs)
Edited mainfile.php to reflect current location on hard drive and new database login and password which is usually root for login and nothing for the password when using XAMPP Lite.
Created a database with same name as website's database through PHPMyAdmin.
Imported backed up database into newly created database.
Removed an .htaccess file from the root which caused a white screen when I tried to access the site through localhost.
**You don't have to INSTALL XOOPS on the local machine; you just copy everything over to your local machine, import your exported database and edit mainfile.php accordingly.**
HERE is a link that will probably explain it a little better than I did.
