I think that apache and mysql can only run as a service when xampp is installed to a hard drive - it's not possible to run either as a service from a USB stick.

When you run setup_xampp.bat and choose option 2 do you see the note:

You should use drive letters, if you want to use services.
With USB sticks you must not use drive letters.

I tried this myself and found that with a USB stick i could run apache as a program but not a service.
And MySQL failed to run whatsoever.
