Since it is not allowed installing in an used old XAMPP directory what is the most convenient way keeping the settings - most complicated ones are to get the includes right,
thanks

Why?? Do you include with absolute pathnames? I never had any problems with my includes (like: include "file.php" or include "subfolder/file.php"), no matter which is the server root. Anyway, its not suggested to "overinstall" Xampp over an old installation, rename the old installation (i.e. move c:/xampp to c:/xampp.old or similar) and finally install the new version into c:/xampp. You may copy files from xampp.old to xampp if needed.
