I must be missing something obvious. I run setup_xampp in the xampp folder; click on "2" --> ENTER for "Relocate XAMPP - Current Directory G:\Programs\XAMPP, then it asks me if I want to make a portable XAMPP without drive letters, I say "Yes" , and then it goes into relocating everything.... to the same place it already was!
I want to move XAMPP from the \programs directory to the root of the drive; so that I can add the XAMPP icon to the PortableApps launcher on my USB drive. help! (I can always reinstall if I need to.... )
