Documentation for installing mplayer is here:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/#installation

For playing DivX files, you probably don't want to use the win32 dlls.
Libavcodec is what you want, and it's included in 0.90 source. If you're
using CVS, you need to copy libavcodec from ffmpeg CVS - it's all in the
DOCS.

Read the DOCS, try things out, and if you have any specific problems
then ask us for help.
