hello,
in trying to installate the 1.8.1 version of XAMPP I get the following message of error: "error opening for writing C:\filezillaFTP\Filezillaserver.exe". If I ignore the message I can still going on with the installation, but at the end I've got all these messages:

Try rebooting and then making Google your default browser before you launch XAMPP.

I had similar errors when I had Mozilla as my default browser. I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that was the problem. When I changed the default browser, it worked. I hope this works for you.

I've got already Chrome as default browser, so maybe this is not the cause.
Thanks

It continue to give such an error:

Problem detected!

I don't know how to do it.

good night (for me it's 01:10 a.m)

Hi cianolu,

Two things:
You need to clear your Port 80 issue.
In many cases this port would be blocked by a Windows service called world-wide-web publishing (or WWW-publishing) or a part of the IIS Webserver component.
So try to find and stop that windows service and/or uninstall IIS in the windows components dialog, if you don't need it.

second thing: why is MySQL started from C:\apache\ and your XAMPP install path is C:\xampp\? Have you moved something?
Maybe it is needed to execute the setup_xampp.bat file again to change the paths of the components to the current path.

best wishes,
Altrea

P.S.:

That would in no way effect any blocked ports, so how should that solve that issue?
