portable meanes movable between windows operating systems like on an usb pen.
Windows services are not system independend so they are not existent inbthe portable versions.
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!

The portable version is useful even on a PC where the userid has controlled access without full admin rights. How can I get hold of all the missing files that are in the installed version?

you could download the full 7z version and compare the contents with the files of the portable 7z version.

Thank you for this.

Bugs found in Portable version
- \xampp\install\.version has wrong XAMPP version number as 1.8.1 in portable
- Incorrect OpenSSL, e.g. \xampp\php\extras\openssl\openssl.exe seems to be different and of 32 bit instead of 64 bit
- missing MailToDisk
- missing Mercury
- missing FileZillaFTP
- missing Webalizer
- missing the scripts to install as Windows services

How to report the above bugs?

Another question, will the standard .7z file be used like portable or do components from it doesn't work in portable mode?
