Here is a couple of things you can try and doing number 2. first may be the easiest and possibly the quickest and if that fails look at doing number 1. after number 2.
1. I don't know what OS you are using but you may have an entry in the System Path Variables remaining from your old Apache installation.
In the
Windows Control Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables you should see 2 sections
User variables and
System variables - in Vista they may be named differently.
Under
User variables look for
PATH (note this is all upper case).
See if the path
C:\apache\bin\httpd.exe or similar is listed in the
Value section.
Under
System variables look for
Path (note different case).
Once again look for the path
C:\apache\bin\httpd.exe or similar.
If you see the path
C:\apache\bin\httpd.exe in any of the
Variable items then select the item and click on
Edit.
I usually open a text editor and copy and paste the item in the Edit Window for editing (much easier), then when finished deleting the
C:\apache\bin\httpd.exe path I again copy and then paste back into the open Edit Window, overwriting the current data.
Or if you wish simply delete the
C:\apache\bin\httpd.exe path from any item by selecting and then clicking on the edit button - the path may simply be C:\apache\bin\ either way it should be removed as XAMPP does not make any entries in the System Variables.
Also the
C:\apache\bin\httpd.exe may be included in another Variable so check them all and if present remove it again using the
Edit button.
Finally when you are satisfied the apache path does not exist in any of the Variables, click on
OK then
OK again and close the Windows Control Panel.
Then do a reboot and see if you have fixed your path issues.
2. Click on
Start>Run...Type
sc delete apache2.2Click
OKThis should remove the entry in the Service Control Manager - check by once again clicking on the SCM button in the XAMPP Control Panel.
