Hi,

I installed xampp in "C:\program files\xampp" and then thought the space between "program" and "files" was causing problem running so I uninstalled it and reinstalled under C:\.

Now I encounter this following error messages

2:01:13 AM [Apache] Apache Service detected with wrong path
2:01:13 AM [Apache] Change XAMPP Apache and Control Panel settings or
2:01:13 AM [Apache] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
2:01:13 AM [Apache] Found Path: "C:\program files\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
2:01:13 AM [Apache] Expected Path: "c:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice

2:01:13 AM [mysql] Found Path: "C:\program files\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe" --defaults-file="c:\program files\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini" mysql
2:01:13 AM [mysql] Expected Path: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql

I tried to delete the old setting in the allowed program list through windows firewall and advanced settings in the Windows Firewall setting but still had the error messages.

Please help. Many Thanks!

I don't find any reference to the " incorrect path detected" problem which I also have, in your " this way please" link. Am I looking in the wrong place?

You specified windows services for components which has defined paths not matching your XAMPP configuration.
This can happen if you move an XAMPP installation after setting the paths or if you set paths in a previous installation.

The linked thread shows you the command to remove and reset the services.

How can we know? You did not tell us any place.
