I've just installed the xampp-pack. This is my status bar:

MySQL database ACTIVATED
PHP ACTIVATED
HTTPS (SSL) ACTIVATED
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) ACTIVATED
Server Side Includes (SSI) ACTIVATED
SMTP Service DEACTIVATED
FTP Service ACTIVATED
Tomcat Service DEACTIVATED

When i try to open C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php i get a message that "Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-("
How can I find out what's wrong? I've installed this to learn php, has this something to do with "XAMPP SECURITY"?

try it the right way.
Request the index.php by URL with the http protocol:

http://localhost/index.php

http://localhost is by default mapped to your htdocs folder by the Apache server
