after bitnami it won't work, it refuses to install if xampp exists.
It requires only a little step more: after copying Xampp Folder to a backup folder, de-install Xampp.

Definately not. It is always a bad hack to install software over existing software. Bitnami does not allow this and this is OK.
If you dont like Xampp anymore, no problem, you are encouraged to install Apache, Php and MySQL manually and put them all together. After then you may update everything as you like. Forget Xampp, if you dont like it.
