First, a correction: I use Win 7 Home Premium SP1 (Forgot that it was pre-installed on my new computer, I've used Enterprise before).
This is a clean install (no changes to any configs)?
Yes, a clean install, nothing done.
Do you get any startup warnings/errors (red text) anywhere in the XAMPP Control Panel log when you start it?
Just this:
- Code: Select all

Did you use the portable version on all of them you tested?
Do you really need the portable version?
Have you tried a sanity check to see if a different version would work (installer or zipped)?
This time I tried the zip "large" version - and the behaviour is the same.
I simply need nothing else than php, mysql, and I'd rather not install one more program on Windows...
Can you even access the default XAMPP directories (http://localhost should redirect to http://localhost/xampp by default unless you changed things)?
Yes, I can open localhost. It redirects me to /xampp. I can open a test .php- and .html-file in the root (htdocs) - no problem.
But - when I try in a subdomain the dialog box says "Server says: Restricted area" - translated from Swedish).
