Hello All
tonight I have installed v1.7.1 and v1.7.2 on a USB key
the Goal is to Test Joomla and Drupal
After the installation of v1.7.2 I discovered that Joomla currently does not support PHP 5.3 so I then went to install v1.7.1
Here are my comments
I wanted to have Both v 1.7.1 and v1.7.2 on my USB key
to do so I wanted
E:/Xampp171
E:/Xampp172
to be my top most Dirs.
upon going to download v1.7.1 I hit my fist stumbling block, the "xampp-win32-1.7.1" is a 7 zip package so Windows 7 RC does not launch it as a exe file but instead as a 7zip self extracting file. so I can't run the installation.
I then Download "xampp-win32-1.7.1-installer" and it installed nicely for me in E:/xampp171
I now go to xampp-win32-1.7.2
The installation does not permit me to rename the folder it installs to, I can install it to E:/xampp172/xampp, but then it is not installed to the top most directory, this makes it a bit of a pain if someone wants to run xampp 1.7.2 from a Portable Medium.
Just a comments, I am a relative noob to this stuff, so maybe I am missing something and can get my comments solved so that none of this is a problem, and if not, then they are just Observation from a Noobie about something that was troublesome for an evening.
