1.7.4 phpMyAdmin config.inc.php is already set up to link tables using the Designer button - just tested it before posting this reply. See below for the included config.inc file.
One solution I read on this forum was to run XAMPP as an administrator or perhaps he meant install XAMPP exe file as an administrator.
viewtopic.php?f=16&t=41362There have been issues with 1.7.4 with Win7 using the installer exe version and others have had great success by uninstalling the exe version and downloading the zip version, then running the setup_xampp.bat file from the xampp folder.
This is the config.inc.php from the XAMPP 1.7.4 zip file version with no changes made from the original so you can compare.
