Installation of GhostView needed before installing MiKTeX?

Question

I want to install MiKTeX 2.9.3959 (on WinXP in order to create PS files).

Do I need (or better, should I) install GhostScript and GhostView first, before installing MiKTeX?

You can find an entire community on the TeX StackExchange, where no TeX-related question is too small.

Ghostscript is required by MiKTeX utilities like epstopdf, and is included in the MiKTeX distribution.

	But it does not install GostView. – Ralph Nov 28 '10 at 17:47
	If you'd like to view PS files under Windows, you would need something like gsview. You can get it at pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get49.htm – withoutasound Nov 28 '10 at 18:45
